crush83, you at Waddo by any chance?

There's a project to get a skatepark in Waddington village, I would like to think that could be extended to a pump track as the one nearby is sized for 20" wheels... There's a grant available through the RAF for sporting/recreational activities, might be possible to get enough money to get a professional in to build one!

Depends on your report date, but if you've 12 months then you might have enough time for a large project which would look MUCH better than digging some trails.

Or you could gather a group of like minded people and get a pump track built in your local park.

hi there, I also live in Lincoln. The nearest place to you for trail building would be Willingham Woods near Market Rasen. Have a look for Rasen Area Trailblazers on the net and Facebook. Dig days all the time there, a good community project supported by locals and the FC.
