I give it a maximum of 2 months, the earth will reclaim the skulls and the mx'rs will rag the arse off it and really break it up.
I don't think they can do much with the lower section, Its all been made 2 metres wide for the horses (remember the campsite descent in Hayfield) But only where they CAN make it wider
looks like the work will go down to the left (down to Emmys) but who knows!!
Priceless.
When we went out a couple of weeks back with Singletrackmind, we met various people from the council out with local residents, looking at the track near SHielan, here

The "bad lads" from the connunity service crew were out that day doing some resurfacing work closer to the railway, and I think this mob of parole folks / council employees / local residents were planning th enext bit. They asked us, as bikers, what we thought of it, obviously expecting us to love the fact that they'd done something. I think they were shocked when I told them that the work done was a disgrace and Stockport Council was wasting money by "repairing" things to a frankly piss poor standard.
That councillor really wasn't best pleased was she....
Well, it's the old thing where non-bikers think that mountain bikers want a smooth, wide track because it'll be easier to ride on, the whole thing with the track down behind the campsite in Hayfield started that way - they actually made the track so fast that people crashed into that wall on the off camber bend at much higher speeds than before thanks partly to a thoughtfully sited drainage hump at just the wrong place.
I was kind of hoping that cuts in public spending would mean the end to this sort of oddness.
