Ali C Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 no storm up here, just a little wet (no difference there ) the storm was pretty much all down south and totally bigged up by the news, didnt look too bad from what I saw on tv (not to say it looked pleasant either!)I didnt notice the earthquake at all! I am annoyed by that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron chase Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) There is a proposal to turn a few local quarries into a mtb mecca!! The local concil own quite a few used and disused quarries and there is a plan to turn it into into one of the Uks leading mtb areas and they would like to include trials.A top downhill rider is helping out with the trail building designs and actual building too (Roman (I forget his last name) he designed and built fort williams 4x track and many others, so he knows his stuff!) They got in touch with me as they know trials is growing and they didnt want us to be left out.The proposed quarry is already very good for riding (known as the secret quarry, but real name is lee mill quarry) but they are willing to import rocks, concrete or what ever we fancy really....if that quarry cant be used, they are willing to impost everything into other places!!I am going to do my best to get the place as good as sabadell in spain or maybe better! So this isnt just your run of the mill little town small park, this is going to be a BIG thing.What I am after is people to show interest, the more interest in it the more chance it has of happening, The track builder is going to put on a presitation to the coincil, would be cool to have him show theres interest in a trials park from non local people. I think it has a VERY good chance of happening, it was a council guy who got in touch with us about it and he is really eager to get it done (being a mtb rider himself) Plans and everything have to be ready to shown by the end of march, thats how soon they want to start building it!So pop some feedback here if you like, the quarry is in Bacup in East Lancashire, would you travel that far? (concidering it will be the BEST trials park in the uk!), got any ideas on stuff you want to ride? got pics of things? Any feed back would be good.you'll get!

Revolver Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 pictures!!!hehe, from what i read there's some pools of water in the park. I'd be quite fun/ny to be gapping between things where if you don't make it, you fall in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Would be better if we all waited though, and just have a huge ride to Christen it.I third this commentIt would be good, the place is big enough to support a lot of riders, we'd all be able to meet each other. I for one have only met a couple of people from the forum, would be good to meet more, put faces to the display names.I'm gna try and get up there in the summer, take my mate who's got a t-rex and perhaps a caravan (one that folds - its well cool!) so we can have a couple of days .Where's the nearest camp-site? I'm guessing tents are ok at the location, but taking an actual caravan might be a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
