Little bit of work on Summer Lightning

there has been a little bit of maintenance on Summer Lightning over the weekend. It's not hugely noticable, especially with the rain, but big scoops of mulch and silt have been removed from drains by the side of the trail - you may be able to see it in detail on the first section of the trail.
Because quite a bit of water has been sitting in certain corners, it has meant that
the ground has become wet and eroded, making those corners lower, and more likely to catch rain, increasing erosion exponentially. So we've packed loose stones into those corners. We'll be making good on the work later in the week, most likely.

BKB - the closed bits

  • Lower part of trail blocked
    Here's some pics showing BKB - and the closed parts of the trail. Hurtwood Control have basically taken action because of the disruption the old end of the trail caused to the next door neighours, who were getting a little tired of hearing 'CLEAR!' yelled outside their bedroom window from 7am on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They were very nice about it, by the way, and are real supporters of Hurtwood. The bonus? we get to put in lots of new bits of trail, and increase the length of BKB by a high margin in the process.

Dorking West

    The new pump track at Dorking West is pretty much there - it just needs a little bit of shaping and cleaning, and it's good to go. props to oli at Head for the Hills for all the work in the background recently.
