The council have decided we don’t need planning permission for the trails!

Made a bit of progress on the new line, finished the berm and stacked up the 6th set.

I guess I never post owt so feel kinda guilty for it so heres some pictures from us up here at Grandmas Trails from the summer

Lots of snow all across the UK seems to have brought things to a halt, at least riding wise. However the frozen tundra makes for good winter digging (once you break through the first 3” or so). Seemed like a good idea at the time, at least you can walk around and not get your feet as covered in mud!

We decided to rebuild the mainline, mostly because the trails run down a hill a bit towards the bottom and speed was becoming an issue. The solution was to upfill the hill so it didn’t fall as much, quite a lot of muck needs to be shifted though. Progress so far :

hey! been putting this together outta boredumb, have a look!

Cold and wet up north now…time to get the spades out.

Big plans for winter digging, starting with re-doing the mainline then making some redundant lines work again and link into the new stuff. More pics soon, but for now here’s a nice panorama of the big set taking its new shape…

First summer has been a good one at Tea Shack, but winter has set in good and proper, all the lips and landings are tucked up in tarps and today we finished a new lip for a hip we are building. More to come soon including a short film !

what’s up world?!?! been slackin hard on getting around to posting up to BTW. been a busy summer with about 5000 things going on at the same time. somewhat current and usually useless tidbits can be found on our blog if you’re so inclined, http://www.revtrails.blogspot.com . i’m in the middle of trying to gather some old pics from the trails to put together a heart warming journey through the past, or something like that. as for now i’m gonna slap up a couple pics for ya’ll, bruno was the one who started rev in 2004 i think.

Missing these summer times,

We’re still working with the council to get the trails official, things have slowed down a bit as we’ve had some problems with a local resident complaining. Because of this we now need planning permission, which everyone seems pretty positive that we are going to get, but you never know, trails aren’t safe yet.

Anyway heres some pics of the digging we’ve been doing.
