Just a quick update - Bruce, the Forestry Commission's beat forester for the area, got in touch yesterday to say that his team is up at Leith Hill this week, and they will remove the fallen tree on Summer Lightning. Thanks, Bruce!

BKB - the closed bits
- 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.

No no no no no!!! Please!!!! I used it to finally drum up the b*lls to get some air since some trail pixie or other had turned it into a ramp! It's a really good feature!!! Please leave it alone.
Do I have to get up a petitiion?

Thanks for the comment, Mike.
The problem is that Forestry is liable for what happens on the land, so if the tree (and the ramp) remains, they might have to shut the trail down rather than risk someone injuring themselves - there's no bail-out route from the jump, so someone changing their mind could well crash, and then they could sue.
