Soon soon.... When the races are out of the way - i promise

Crossed bee line on Sat - something of a half way bench mark.

Am well happy

From maturing beech and ferns hiding away in the southern shadows to sunbasking Manuka and views across the basin to the pylon 29/spoon hill ridge.

4hours digging, some fine drainage bixes thanks to Dave Blake and Ben / Cam back on the dig..

A solid effort

Thanks for everyones time, energy and interest.

Cleaning up some unfinished work low down on tuesday if anyone is keen to come along.

6pm at church Tuesday - please let me know so i can bring tools..

Ok, I've been meaning to get out to give you guys a hand for ages and everytime somtheing comes up - I will be there 6pm-6:30ish.
I'll finish work at 5:00pm or so. That'll give me enough time to drive home from wellington and then drive up to Wainuiomata. I can bring my spade/branch cutting tools etc. Any other tools that you think will be needed?

a couple more photo's

Track building Wainui style :-)

Lots of room for dirt jumps

Thanks hickie and ben - sorted the re route at the bottom, fully surveyed alternate section AND dealt with the breeched anti trail bike defences - Fine work and some intersesting old bottles and hub caps to add to my geeky collection..

Thursday 6pm and the big one on Saturday at 9am..

spread the word - trail is looking good, this is happening now and we are always needing more helpers.

T.

Lots of work has been going on this week on the lower
section....

One re route complete, one more nearly complete, some
successful graveling work undertaken and the alternate
line around the grassy clearing surveyed, clear and
ready to bench.

Saturday will be up at the front line - On and upwards
above Bee line.

Try and make Sat's dig if you can - We hade a wicked
turn out last Saturday.

As numbers are increasing it might be a cool idea to
bring a pick if you have one (and dont forget your
gloves!!.

Right then, cool see you at 9am tommorow by the Church.

Thanks - T

is there going to be digging during the day in the school holidays?? ill try and make it this tuesday, and posibly tear dan away from tennis!!!

Supreme effort today. Also added a couple of photo's here in my Wainui project gallery

Fine work men, fine work. usually we get 70 - 80 strides of measured complete single track out of a Saturday morning session.

YESTERDAY we topped out at a massive 125!

Speachless, and no scimping on the quality either!!

There is a distinct risk the NZ army will be employing us all as personal fitness instructors if we keep this up!

Favoite moment for me was squaring off against 'the rock' with Paul and Dave Blake for 3/4 of an hour or so..

Rock 0 - men with pickaxess 1!!

And yes Mat - there will definatly be some trail building in the holidays - might even talk to council about surveying / clearing new Dh trail (text me)..

So come and join in the fun this week or Sat morning..

T.

Blue skies have returned so dig for sat is on..

9am at life city church..

come and satisfy your curiosity..

bring a pick, water and gloves

Prob won't be blue skies tomorrow though... In fact it will probably be pretty crap actually - lots of rain & southerlies

Hmmm - Digging in the rain can be fun actually - you dont seem to get so hot!

Pahhh! - Anyway bad weather doesn't happen until you think it..

It only gets crappy because folk check the paper/forecast, read 'it will be crappy' and 'voila' - Enough negative energy zipping about to induce a wet spell.

Honestly if only people had a more optomistic outlook it would NEVER be crappy!

Get with the positive thinking - It WILL be fine tommorow, perfect weather for digging in the bush!!

Try the following - "It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine It WILL be fine!!"

If the above mantra fails and furry animals of various types and sizes are falling heavily from the sky the dig will be off..

(Drizzle doesnt count though, nor do gale force winds.)

If in doubt call 021 29 24 880 after 8am.

Dont forget your Sunblock..

Its previously worked with outstanding results.

Applying for a job there. If I get an interview, may be we could link up and chat? Not very fit and lousy at DIY though! Cheers.
