Not heard anything from you in a while.

Hi Rich,things are looking very good at the moment,with the 3 basic trails more or less plotted out,the Trespass trail is a fairly straight down affair with a few dh jumps,good to get your head dialled into riding, the Flowshow is the nshore trail with 3 drops,a table top and a rolling up and down bridge over a bog its 25meters long :devil: and called Splashdown. all connected by single track with berms and now its dryer its starting to work real nice :thumb: and a third yet un named trail with a lot of turns.
We're trying to get some funds as we dont have much money to buy timber at the mo,but its hoped that we're going to get a big bundle donated by a local builders merchants in time for our next big build weekend on the 23/24 April.
if we get funds we're going to aim for a aug bank hol for an official launch,to give us time to really go to town on it. :devil: altho there is stuff to ride now and all are welcome i wouldnt want someone to travel a long way for it just yet,altho my two mates drove up from zooport,sorry i mean't newport :filthy: and loved it :D pop over if ya got time any input of idea's is welcome :thumb:

teah, well i think you covered it fish, as we could tell from today the whole track feels different (for the better) when its dry, so dry infact that in areas the ground is cracking. another thing to mention is the mud work, thanks to simon (true saxon) vertually all the berms are 'dialed' and work fantasticly, especially the mud shikane (which has to be rode to be appriciated) imho by far the best mud feature

And to look at it and realise our first proper build day was x-mas eve its came a long way...... AWSOME

Forgot i'd posted this :)
Sounds like things are coming along nicely now, the drop in the pic looks fun too.
We have got 2 shore projects on the go at the moment.
One is a fully legit operation with a local off road training center (orb-training)
And then theres the not so legit, ridiculously insane shore sections going in at a secret location here in barnsley.
Will let you know when both are complete!
