Each to their own. I think Lee Quarry is better.

Glad you like it Rowan and his guys have done a good job for us up there.

Taking Benji around Cragg tomorrow! So hopefully he can do a bit of a review of the place for singletrack, just hope the wind isn't too strong I rode round there on Monday very wet and very windy made it hard work just to get round.

Should have some signage sorted out for it by the end of May so it will be slightly easier to find.

It's good to have options! Planning the trails for Facit quarry at the moment which will link up with Lee and Cragg, steep larch plantation so some good twisty rooty fun through the trees to add in to the mix.

Table tops have all been freshened up and the new pump track finished so quite a few new bits there now. New drop offs are still causing people some difficulty people are I think going too fast off them and not making the sharp right hand turn. Speed is not your friend with these!

Tony's organising a dig day next Sunday (17th of April) to carry out a few repairs to various bits of the new stuff which didn't get a chance to bed in. We could do with some help if anyone's free.

More details at www.pmba.org.uk or email contactus@pmba.org.uk
