Tb: Wtp's Snail Trail Dig Thread.

[hickie]

I have just been chatting with Jim and confirm that this Sunday will be his last Sunday working on the trail, so it would be great to get a large group out to make a significant chunk in the last remaining section. (Sorry, I doubt will finish it this weekend, but before Christmas is looking very likely )

Both Jim and I should be there early so those of you chomping at the bit can turn up at 9:00am

cheers

Weather is looking nice out this way this morning, rain has departed leaving the ground nice and soft for the mattocks

Hope to see you up the hill...

A big thank you to all those that turned up, I believe there was 15 of us in all. A great send off for Jim's last Sunday dig. Got to say the chocolate cake was, well, icing of the cake

I've got to give you all an apology for failing to mention the heavy benching required today, it must have completely slipped my mind beforehand On a positive note we have now cleared through to the last gully so we would have a total of about 100m left to go give or take...

Hope to see you all in 2 weeks

You might get to see a few pictures posted from others later on.

cheers

Neil

Snail Trail dig this week.

Sunday the 6th of December, starting from 9:00am.

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.

Food and tools and provided.

Cheers

We'll, a bigger turnout than I was expecting and some great progress thanks to all those that turned up. You well and truly earned you hard man or woman badge today :-)

When I left at 1pm Shane and Jude were determined to get the last few meters of benching done so I left them with a couple of mattocks although they looked as buggered as I felt

We'll probably have one last working bee for the year on the 20th and I expect we'll complete a ridable exit, which will leave some tweaking to be done next year.

. Digging is happening about 700m down the track.

spam needs updating might be a tad further than 700metres now

Looking good for this morning :-) I should be there from 9:0am

[hickie]

We have broken through, but be warned that it's a bit rough in places and needs a bit of work to get it up to standard. So go ride it and help estabish a line for us to work too :-)
