Big Guild Day - bringing Stile Cop back up to standard

After a few weeks planning we all arrived in site at 10am eager to get cracking with two huge projects. Rebuilding the end of the black run into a fun, fast ending and rebuilding the landing of the New Line gap jump to bring it up to Forestry standards.

Over on new line, the rotten old landing dissappeared and thanks to epic volumes of tough spadework a very large hole's worth of dirt was moved to create a proper landing. It's the same size and shape as the old one, but wider and without a square face if you short it. Please leave it a few weeks to set before hitting it as it may well be quite loose.

Over on the black run, big things were happening. First, the run in to the drop had been graded, along with the landing. Goodbye braking bumps for now!
Secondly, the berm has been biggerised!



Most importantly though were the alterations to the table. It was never the ending we hoped it would be and today gave us the opportunity to make the best of it. I left to go and supervise elsewhere and returned 2 hours later to a different hill. The table was gone. In its place a huge stepdown. The sheer scale of the amount of dirt that was moved is astonishing! When I saw it I have to say that I was speechless!

Pog whacking away



Smooth as a baby's arse!


Testing fell to Mitch Ingley who cleared it silently.

If you helped dig today, thankyou so much. It was incredible to see how much we can achieve in only a day!
Top job!
