dont know if anyone else has realised but theres a big lack of decent riding spots locally.... apart from carlton and chewys (which are both only ridable in fair weather as they are pretty exposed)

was thinking of trying to get somewhere like the shailheaps built, somewhere sheltered that can be rode almost any time to practise on, mainly because since my bike was nicked and the shailheaps destroyed ive become pretty crap at riding (jumping imparticular)

just wondering if anyone can think of anyplaces that would be good for some dirtjumps? maybe a downhill aswell if we can get permission. and somewhere local so we dont havta travel all the way to hamsterly just to be able to ride!

suggestions anyone?

yer but thats not really local isit? (well it is... but not very close) was thinking more of somewhere in guisborough woods

i found a good spot im gonna build at in summer once it is ova grown its at bottom of guis woods and has a ready built roll in and enough space for about 10 big doubles in a straight line hope it turnes out to be a good ridin spot

cool, which part of the woods isit in?

theres a place half way up the second section of the unsuitables thats been deforested a couple of years back (right hand side when going up) i showed john it a few months back it would be ideal

the only down side which will put most people off is that it the initial clearing of space would be hell as its been replanted but ont the up side there are no substantial roots to get in the way once the diggin has started

if we could get a good turn out one day we could get a good area cleared for at least one main line and then add to it as time goes on it would be cool to cut thin lines through the little trees rather than a big open space like the shail heaps were.

ah yer i know where you mean would be worth a look sometime

would also be very handy to maybe seek permission for a DH around there? nice uplift spot

john, did you get anywhere with permission last time?

I never got to meet kath but once i finish my course for work in a few weeks time i will get on it and start putting some ideas together.

i know where there is a place that my mate has started building dirt jumps up guis hills but its top hush hush but we can dig there any time

where abouts ses pm me please ad like to take a look now that i cn ride agen

go to hutton village and as you walk up and you come to the s in the road theres a track to your right hand side walk up there and i cant remember if its at the first cross roads or the second but its just after 1 of them and its on your right he hasnt been doing them that long but he has 2 or 3 done its the lad who was at the shale on the dmr has loads of tattoos he is called paul hes the one i was asking if he could come up chewies
