Large Section Of Lee Quarry Trail Centre Washed Away In Flood

Bad news for mountain biking in the north of England seems to come in twos these days. Just days after it was announced that Lancashire County Council were cutting all funding and support for the mountain bike centres of Lee Quarry and Cragg Quarry the site suffered landslide brought on by the recent flooding, wiping out much of the trails at the lower section of the site.

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).
