Fantastic riding today in the FOD despite the forestry works on Doughies and the Board Walk now gone from Dungeons and Dragons trail, looks like they're felling there too ;-( Rest of the trail rides OK and I think Doughies will be rebuilt pretty soon!

It hasn't gone, its just about to go I think!! The first part has little piles of logs and no twisty turny in/out of the trees stuff the middle rides same as normal but the end is under debris then they're logging towards the end. Once they finished I don't think it'll take long to put it right.

Your right there does seem to be a fair amount of logging going on down there at the moment. Once they finish we'll have to build the trail back bigger and better, if that's possible ๐Ÿ˜‰

There were never any plans for any riding anyway.

Well apart from on the dancefloor.

Worn out anyway. We can revitalise it.
