I see someones been busy again!
It’s a real shame to have to remove such a nice piece of engineering, neither I or my contractors like to take down these things, (well my contractors might, but they’re not as benevolent as me). But as I’ve said before, allowing such structures jeopardises the future of mountain biking on The Hurtwood. The liability implications are too great for the land owners to bear. It was built as part of a new off-shoot of an existing trail, so it also meant someone had been cutting into the hillside to make the new trail as well. For anyone who doesn’t know, we will not allow any further un-sanctioned trail building on The Hurtwood. The current trail network is already vast and in need of repair, and these are the issues we will be tackling first.
I’m afraid it doesn’t look quite the same now.
