  • Digging the Devil 2.0

    Here are the rescheduled plans for the work on the bottom of the Devils Elbow. We are planning to be out digging quite a bit this year, with this and the work on Wimble Holme Hill and very shortly up to Greno to finish off the work up there. But for now the Devils Elbow…

    If you are a regular down the Devils Elbow, you might have noticed that a couple of holes have appeared. It was always going to be hard for the original work to cover all the right bits, so we are going to help out with a bit of remedial work (more…)

    At the end of November, I attended the Black Moor Reserves Advisory Group (RAG) meeting, along with John Horscroft and Henry Norman.

  • Parkwood is Open!

    After over five years of hard work by Jon Dallow, the city council, Dan Cook etc; that culminated in a couple of months of hard digging by biketrack.org that was then followed by a couple of months of checking the trail, filling out paperwork, putting up signs, more paperwork, carefully explaining why it’s not open yet, completing risk assessments and jumping through a few more hoops……… Parkwood Springs MTB circuit is now officially open!

  • Is Parkwood Open Yet?

    The status of the new trail at Parkwood Springs is what we get asked about more than anything else at the moment. Not to mention the lively debates that it has sparked over on our Facebook Page. The project has been running nearly five years, so what you see on the ground is the product of years of hard work. But before it can be opened to the public there are still a few little things that need to be sorted before it can be fully open. SCC Parks and Woodlands trail guru Jon Dallow fills us in on where it’s at….

  • Blacka Planned Maintainance – Piper House Gate

    The work that is planned for Piper House Gate Bridleway will be starting this Thursday. We have been asked to tell people to stay off it while the work is being done, particularly on a night.
    We have been told that the work being done will be much more sensitive than other council jobs, more akin to the other work that has been done on Blacka. We will also be heading up there to help with a bit of finishing if required. Any feedback after completion is welcome, but just keep off it for now, thanks.
