Checked the signs today and some had been torn down, which is kinda ironic in a way. I guess I'll put them up higher next time. I'm sure it was mini riders aswell, there was nobody else in Glenrock this afternoon.

P.S. Was that you crossing the pacific highway outside of Glenrock today Chuck?

Things seemed to have been picking up in Glenrock lately, the amount of rubbish left behind has significantly been reduced, however it was worrying to see a number of small trees near the northshore drop cut down.

Speaking with National Parks they are concerned with the the amount of land each trail occupies so people need to start looking at reducing the width of trails back to single track as well as stopping riding on trails that aren't holding up. At the very least maintenance of these trails. One area that stands out is the creek gap run. The width of the trail in that are can be reduced considerably.

A bit of goundwork with the NPWS needs to be done before we get in and do a mass effort, but that doesn't stop people from getting in on an individual basis and fixing things up. Please note though fixing stuff doesn't include cutting new trails or building new jumps and please don't cut stuff down to block a trail.
