[#382859]

was up there last night and didn't see it, but apparently there's a sign up, according to a mate:

just off the gravel bend on the entrance to the top of Standrews.

basic gist of it: -

Trails are unsanctioned by owner and contrevene bylaw XXXX
We're felling summer 09 during which we will purposely destroy the trails

i know somone was posting here a while back and said that they had permission ( or that's the interpretation i put on their post ).

any info out there?

doubt they'd mess with teapot or st. andrew's ( well that's a ROW ), but doesn't sound good for the 'full-face brigade' over there. 🙁

There's lots of decent DH stuff over that way if you know where to look 🙂

St Andrews won't be trashed as it's a ROW and apart from one or two of the lead ins, there's no farmed timber there anyway.

Doesn't sound good for the storm troopers though 🙁

I heard it will be all going, starting in April some time. 🙁

Spoke to the guy who owns the land (but rents it to the FC) he sometimes rides his trials bike up there...

Shame...

dont even get the credit do i Del... 'mate' pah! 😉

If they fell in the teapot sector which i doubt they will, we may need to resurect poo-bridges.

Sharki - some of the runs are fun, nice loamy switchbacks, but there's also plently of doubles which are a bit big for me.
