I've got a half-finished (more like half-started) pump track in my back garden. Haven't been able to touch it in months as the clay-ish soil has been a nightmare to work with with the amount of water in it.
I'm going to dig out the insides of the berms (and likely fill them with gravel) so that the water drains away, but the surface itself will still be rubbish. So after seeing something on facebook earlier, I'm thinking about just getting hold of a load of type 1 and chucking that down. I'm wondering if it would be enough to just use this sort of material as a surface on the features (berms and rollers) or if I'll really need to build them entirely out of it?
The initial plan was to have the back of the berms and the like turned back to garden with plants/grass/etc. The thinking being that the plants would bind that together with a decent riding surface on the other side. Wouldn't exactly be a major loss if that wasn't the case though.
if anyone has any of their own backyard track building experience to share, I'd be happy to hear it - need it ready for BBQ season!
