Some photos from today's dig.

As Neil said, we're halfway there. The track is rideable as a there and back ride to the beech forest section.
Feel free to ride it to help with the bedding in process

Also very nice to meet Mr Bob in person for the first time, hope you enjoyed the trails :)

Good to put a name to the face too Neil :thumbsup:
Glad I could give you a hand with a couple of corners too.
You've got some great riding at Nui'
Jim showed me around a couple of the other trails, the only bad thing was my tyre choice :blink:
I'll try and get down again sometime in the next few months.

Nice photos Dave... & great to see some of the timber that was donated (via Hoz) for MTB trails being put to good use. Jim, you going with mudcloth to protect the tree roots?

Meet at the trail end, wander up Labyrinth until you see the turn off just before the first section of wooden retaining. Digging is happening about 500m down the track.
