Don is planning on doing some work on the first creek crossing and will be taking in a big pipe for it. Much the same as hugh and himself (and a wee bit of me) did on the next 2 crossings (this is when headed down the trail). The rockwork in the bridge takes a beating in torrential rain, so an upgrade is needed. I'm guessing that it will start on teh lower.
Unfortunatly due to running the final of the short course race I won't be there. But have fun anyway kids

Yar. About time that I headed out that way for another look-see. Given my busted arm, I'm not going to be up for much in the way of bashing things, but shifting rocks and such will be fine.
Might head up to the top afterwards to have a look at further options too.
Unless it's hosing down, in which case I'll be staying low

10am, or any time up to 2.30! I shall check with Don to see where we are meeting up.
If it is at the bottom of the track, my guess is a few people will get up early and ride down to there !
