You've been living in a bit of a time warp recently haven't you

[Grumpyoldman]

There's been a rift in the time space continuum.

Either that or the senility is worse than I thought.

looks like me may be lucky with the weather coming right tomorrow
But I'd still recommend a good set of gumboots none the less

Cheers to those who dug today, I will say sorry now due to the fact that Snail's is going to be the most ironic name this trail could have. Some sections are going to be, well a little bit faster than expected.

Snail Trail dig this week.

Sunday the 25th October, starting from 10:00am

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 600m down the track.

Man, we created some sweet track today

Also, to those with the skills and inclination, Sean McMillan's exit is now an option

[thelongwalk]

good on you guys, the rumour is you've been doing the IMBA thing out there, look forward to getting out for a ride soon

[Jim]

Yeah, some of us did read their book, our style really is keep the trail moving be it up, down, left, right or all of these at once, try to minimize brake damage and real important one is to make sure water sheets of regular with the frequent use of grade reversals. Then its down to the diggers and how they interpret the lay of the land to what they want that one section to look like.

I've Got to say, Jim's gone a got himself a job that means he won't be available weekends in a short time (congratulations on the job Jim!).

It would be rather nice if we could get this trail through before he starts as I'm sure it would help the poor bugger sleep better at night! There isn't that far to go now so if you can come along for either of the next couple of digs it would be appreciated.

I couldn't help myself this morning, just had to go up there and do some tinkering as I had a few hours spare. The trail is going to be a stunner

I hear the trail is getting pervaded by walkers. Can you confirm or deny?

[hickie]

Yeah, saw a lovely lady up there with her little boy, she had two big sticks to keep him in line

By the looks of the dodgy little fella, should of had him on a leash too

But seriously, the trail is multi use so everyone riding it should watch for other users...
