PaRtZ Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 This looks good. I might organise a trip up to see it. Maybe the park should have a website too? Especially if theres XC tracks there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gu trials Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Do you think you could get some indoor things to ride aswell for when the weather isnt that good. and cotton wheels are good to ride aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 sorry, cant have any indoor parts, I have asked but the costs are too high plus everything has to "fit in" with the landscape and history of the quarry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 sounds like theve lost interest already. wouldnt agree with that....it seems the main priority would be aimed toward the larger disciplines in MTB'ing, and i dont think we have any reason to argue with it. Ali will keep pushing it, and i hope some of the guys down in that area would be willing to go along and help / contribute. However ali knows what he is doing, and the fact he has one or two sections kinda sorted, is proof enough that it is possible to get it done.

Ali C Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 cheers ben. Yeah, things are still moving on, but a little slower than first thought, though to be honest, I thought their prediction of completion by march was hopfull at the best! Maybe march next year, we'll have to see (will be worth the wait though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you cant tell from some promo pics of ali riding there, there is a section already done that looks great. Also not to forget theres shite loads of riding there anyway.

Ali C Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 ok, update time.Just got back from the 3rd round of the British Champs held at the quarry.Phase one of the trials areas is nearly completed but there was still enough to hold some pretty decent sections.I chatted to a few people and I never heard one negative comment about the quarry, so it seems like the work is successful so far. Still to come are concrete tubes/shapes, imported rocks (limestone, granit) more logs, possibly some tyres and concrete sleepers.I could do with some feedback from whoever rode the quarry today, liked what was there? should I change any thing? What would you like to see there?Hopefully there will be some pics up for those who wern't there to see.Phase 2 will start in a couple of months time and I am hoping there will be even more phases in the future.

DrEvil270183 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Whats the deal with riding the quarry at the moment Ali? I'm assuming until those areas are finished its a no go. Plenty of other rocks to ride though so wasn't sure if its allowed to ride the normal rock areas?Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
