the Makara Peak Supporters will be running a maintenance work party on SWIGG and Starfish this coming Sunday from 10am.
The aim of this day is to firstly remove all of the notched drains (and construct in their place drains that are barely noticable to mountain bike riders)
And secondly, too trim back the shrubbery, before it starts to effect riders ( or walkers and runners) in a way that it does not need to be revisitited for some time.
AJK has created a thread on this right here, with some discussion about the hated drains. -->

It might rain on Sunday, which will help a great deal. This is because new track work can be packed down properly so it will last: fresh dry soil has little strength at all.
And anyway, most of this track is under the trees

We will be starting at 10am from the top of SWIGG, see you there!
And bring your bike

Cheers,
Rob
