It has finally happened, what I had been dreading for a while! The council has ruined the best most interesting descent coming down from Mellor cross just before the zig-zags. What there is now (work has just started) is a 2 m smooth path down on the left side to the split, so far so good, maybe that can then channel other trail users up that way so we don't collide and mountain bikers and motocrossers can use the right descent which is the more interesting side....but no!! The council had decided to "fill it in". Almost felt like crying when I saw it. Anyway they aren't finished yet and it remains to be seen what the finished result is going to be but I'm not hopeful.
Can only hope the motorbikes make a good job of eroding it as quickly as possible!
makes the riding actually interesting.
