Well, it's amazing what a small team can accomplish. We had a new face who ran a wheelbarrow all morning (thanks onya!), between that and another barrow we shifted about 16 barrows worth and incorporated it into the trail surface. Also shaped a few embryonic drains (which will probably need a revisit once the trail is opened) and generally fiddled with some contour. Photos below are in order walking "down", each one is taken from around where the preceding one finishes. Because of the limited supply of barrow-loads, we missed sections which would be under lighter load (e.g. straight/flat sections) and prioritised cornering/braking areas.
Trail is still not open, but should be ready to roll with another work day. Overall there wasn't as many riders out as normal, so it's good to see some people stay away from riding as well as trail maintenance. Generally speaking the trails were very wet, with significant mud sections in the upper flat section (wheelbarrow drift!)
Pic 1 Downhill LH corner. Note slight camber change to drain mid pic.
Pic 3 Downhill section, over rocks in the middle. Fill added in soft section in distance for braking/direction change.
Pic 4 Drain in foreground and also distance (both exit trail-right). This is also slightly downhill along the trail, and the ground slopes from left to right.
Pic 5 Tightest corner and probably the softest ground. Also a significant outslope and bad camber. We built the corner up a bit, lined with some scavenged rocks with the hope of adding some stability. I think this is likely to be the first "problem point" once the trail opens, although a lot depends on how well the crushed sandstone/clay mixes with the base sand. It will be interesting to see.
Pic 6 The rock bridge over the Angophora roots. Looks like God built it. Boo ya us!
