Official start time is 10:00 but there&#39;s often people there around 09:00 and onwards.</p> <p>We&#39;ll be working on the Extension to the Descent Line again. No special tools required although if you have something that you think will move big boulders feel free to bring it along. Steel toes cap / decent boots are worthwhile, as are gloves and bait+brew.</p> <p>March&#39;s DD is a bit special because we&#39;re going to have the club AGM at 14:00 in the Chapel just below the woods. Nothing stopping anyone coming along though.</p> <p>Digs are informal, open house affairs. It&#39;s not a niche of elite trailbuilders / technical riding gods or anything. Strictly speaking you should be a paid up member to attend a dig day BUT we accept people often want to come down and see what it&#39;s all about before joining. Yes, we appreciate the irony of being one of the few who put something tangible back in the trails but having to pay for the privilege. Funds have to be raised somehow and people have to be members to be covered by the insurance FE insist we hold if working in the wood <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_cool.gif" title="8-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>Swing on by to <a href="http://www.singletraction.org.uk">http://www.singletraction.org.uk</a> or the forum <a href="http://singletraction.frankencrank.com/phpBB3/index.php">http://singletraction.frankencrank.com/phpBB3/index.php</a> if you want to know more. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1135744 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:31:54 +0000 Blower 1135744@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>True Cheeky,<br /> start of March then next dig day? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1135711 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:22:52 +0000 Cheeky Monkey 1135711@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>wish it was longer though.. </blockquote></p> <p>LOL</p> <p>The answer to that is in the thread above <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=";-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1133810 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:03:47 +0000 Blower 1133810@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I luuuurve Stainburn!!<br /> favourite trail centre,better than the usual pap imo...wish it was longer though.. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1133786 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:55:57 +0000 Pook 1133786@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Er, yeah I guess I could borrow a decent camera (it&#39;s my job!) and do something proper for the team.

If you&#39;ve any idea&#39;s along these lines i&#39;d be very interested.<br /> Maybe a few v short interviews (don&#39;t expect anybody to be too serious), could include a bit about some of the original features spliced with someone riding those sections - Chase? and a little about the future??</p> <p>Or tell me t&#39;bugger off..</p> <p>Liked your last Stainburn vid, a lesson in determination indeed. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1114873 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:13:44 +0000 luke.ellis 1114873@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Hi All that was there on Sunday and to all those that are interested in the next dig day. I was one of the new boys on sunday and had a brilliant day even tho my hands are soar today and shoulders ache a bit. Was really good to just hang out with like minded people and help build some thing that will last forever and create so much fun for everyone that ever rides it.</p> <p>For all those that have never been to a dig day. Get on the web find your local trail builders. you will have a great day out and meet lots of cool people and as i did and learn about the amount of work that goes in to a MTB trail that people like single track action put in to these projects.(THERE VOLUNTEERS DONT YOU KNOW!!)</p> <p>I will be there next month and im sure i will leave with a smile on face knowing in a few months the trail will be finished and i can fly down it on the bike. when i say fly i mean roll down it very slow probably with both breaks pulled tight back to the bars. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1113908 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:33:55 +0000 Cheeky Monkey 1113908@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Good man.</p> <p>People often there from 9 or a little after. &quot;Official&quot; kick off is 10 am, meeting at the Norwood Edge car park on the B6451 (Pateley Bridge Road) or just down at the dig (section is on the Boulder Trail side, in the clear fell, beyond the end of the Descent Line).</p> <p>Keep an eye on the <a href="SingletrAction.org.uk">SingletrAction.org.uk</a> for updates, particularly in the forum section for Stainburn. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1113822 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:07:11 +0000 Pook 1113822@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>yup.

Big bertha continues to prove invaluable (an Heath-Robinson contraption comprising mainly 9 foot of scaffold bar) at shifting boulders. Knackers straps also made life a lot easier (OK, so &quot;easier&quot; is relative). Who would have though something so simple could make such a difference.</p> <p>Full respect to all the new guys that came out in distinctly average weather and worked their socks off. Hope to see you all again in March.</p> <p>And big thanks to Tom as well for hte exposure in the STW blog:</p> <p><a href="http://www.singletrackworld.com/blogs/2010/02/bikes-bikes-everywhere-but-not-a-single-one-ridden/">http://www.singletrackworld.com/blogs/2010/02/bikes-bikes-everywhere-but-not-a-single-one-ridden/</a></p> <p>Will post up my pics and put a write up on the site soon. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1111454 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:12:01 +0000 Mugboo 1111454@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Superb day today, good turnout, got alot done.</p> <p>Thanks to the usual crew, you know who you are. Big thanks to first timers George (Taka&#39;s bro), LukeEllis, Pstokes99, Tom &amp; Joel. If i forgot anybody please let me know!</p> <p>Hope no ones too sore tomorrow. I tried my best to explain what and why in relation to todays trail building, if you&#39;ve any questions just ask and i&#39;ll do my best to answer em...</p> <p>Cheers jase </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1110519 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:30:31 +0000 Chase 1110519@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>A very productive morning. There must have been 10 metres of new pitched stone trail bed down before Si and me left at lunchtime. Hoping you guys left made progress later on. Plenty of huge boulders shifted into place too.<br /> Just shows what can be done with a few more people.</p> <p>Thanks to everyone who turned up to lend a hand!!! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1108679 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 20:41:18 +0000 Mugboo 1108679@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Looking forward to it boys. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1108269 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:31:31 +0000 Chase 1108269@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Si and me will be there about 9.15.</p> <p>For anybody turning up before 10 - head down the felled area towards (and beyond) the bottom of the descent line - you should be able to see us. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1108267 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:30:27 +0000 pstokes99 1108267@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Is anyone likely to be there earlier than 10.00? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1107555 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:44:29 +0000 Simon 1107555@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Excellent, always good to see some new faces. <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1107539 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:38:03 +0000 pstokes99 1107539@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Have been given permission to attend - see you in the morning. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stainburn-dig-day-desperately-seeking-help#post-1103409 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 07:55:25 +0000 Mugboo 1103409@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>bump </p>
