Redlands Trails members split into teams to carry out a day of trail maintenance. The team was joined by two teenagers from Horsham who’d seen the trails and had the confidence to get involved. So come on you lot, if young’uns can wield a spade all day and show considerable trail building abilities so can you.

Drainage channels on all trails were cleared to ensure the trails stay dry for the winter and any mud build-ups were removed. A new level table was added to Waggledance to prevent the trail eroding the hill and to provide riders with a better line. New berms were added to stage 2 of Summer Lightning.

It is hoped that Sunday’s maintenance will keep the trails in good condition for the winter, and considering how much rain we’ve had this week the timing was probably fortuitous.

As per usual a feast of a picnic was laid on for all those that came to dig the trails and the obligatory beer at Coldharbour’s The Plough.

If you would like to join us for future digs please register to our mailing list and details will be forwarded to you.
