a few chaps off here built a pump track up there a few weeks ago. Not sure what is planned for the rest of it tho. Would make a good play area for MTB's but im sure that the council will soon put stop that if any one gets hurt.
Its near Cullingworth/ Howarth

I heard a rumour that STW didn't have permission from the landowner to build that pump track. If that's true, then it would appear it was just a stunt for a magazine artical rather than part of any proper plans to build a MTB spot.
Maybe someone from STW could comment and clear this up?

That was what we were told (hadn't asked for permission as opposed to hadn't got permission if you see what I mean). Motorbikes have been banned up there, couple of deaths apparently. Hasn't stopped them riding though, quite a few up there when we were building the pump track. One guy was up there sculpting stuff for the motorbikes. He came over to find out what we were doing, told us a bit about the history of the quarry and gave a hand building the pumptrack.
Don't think there are any formal plans for anything though, could do with a damn good clean up though, flytippers paradise.
