Manly Dam Open?

[Jubas]

I was thinking just after that ... but if its there ... then I'm even more lost ... I would have thought the only works there would be to put a few corralling rocks and maybe some new plantings in to stop people taking the shitty B line.

Thanks for the update Cuthbert ... good luck to you and everybody else working hard on the advocacy on the beaches

Ah - actually, i think i know where you mean. I think i got thrown as my memory of that section was it being a lot more enclosed by shrubbery. They may have just cut it back.

If i'm not mistaken there, there were some wooden planks set in to take you around the corner to the right and down onto the rocks, so maybe it's an attempt to replace them, although i don't remember them being worn

Warringah council clearly supports the construction and riding of unauthorised trails

THIS.

Seriously, fuck advocacy with these fuckwads, I'm so sick of getting shut out of all the old good "xc" trails on the northern beaches and this is what they give us and expect us to all be good citizens and follow along with what some councillor has as there image of mtb'ing? Do they really expect that this is going to appease the masses? Perhaps those who choose to ride knobby tyres but would rather be on the road will be happy, otherwise trails that we enjoy riding will continue to be built and ridden.

Ah no, Pittwater, Manly and warringah councils can go jump.
