We (SingletrAction) have been helping out with this development in Buck Woods, near Thackley / Idle. The plan is to develop a skills spot with a range of drops, jumps, a pump track, some trials boulders / rock spines and a little timber work.
The project involves us, local shop Crosstrax (in Rodley), Bradford MBC, BCEP and Friends of Buck Woods. Most of the £10k budget has been spent on materials etc and there's still a rake of work to be done by any willing volunteers. So this is an open inviatation to anyone who wants to get involved.
It's a spot for anyone and everyone (particularly 20 and 26 inchers). So far we have a number of workable (but not finished) roll ins, a jump line (still being tweaked, with a surface to die on rather than for ;-), the boulder spine etc.
There's general information, links to pics etc here:

The next one is planned for this Sunday, 21 June at 10:00 am.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated and, unlike our work on FC sites, you don't need to be a SingletrAction member to dig.
There's a mailing list for anyone who wants updates and details of forthcoming digs. If you want to be on it send an email to chairman@singletraction.org.uk
