had a photographer from a local paper come and take some snaps of us digging at our new spot today.. bit in the papers quite a lot recently! bargain hunt is next week i think?? what day hodge, is it saturday?? where??
HAHA, alvar you knows it. Gump an Hodge are gonna tear the place apart!!
you haven't missed it yet Sallie, no worries. it's not even been filmed yet. i think we're all gonna go up and do a little display or summat, then let the two boys opn the rampage to find some bargins!!
We did the first bit of the filming today(hope i didn't make to much of a tit of my self!!) Doing the auction in July, so its not going to be on tv for about 6 months, so i'll let yous know when it's on
we would love to re-biuld barham, that is our no. 1 goal really, but it is indeed a no-go due to the forestry Commission. Apparantly there is wild flora that is protected growing in the woods at Covert so we are unable to ride there.
Used to ride at Barham many many years ago. Got back into riding about a year ago and bit sad to see it all totalled when I went back there last summer. There was some shonky shore stuff there which I'm guessing the FC flipped over.
Been back a lot recently as I live near Canterbury and most trails are now clear. Someone had rebuilt some of the jumps there about 2 months ago but any with logs in have been dismantled and someone's taken supporting logs from all the small berms.
The trail on the side of the old MX track (directly opposite most of the tracks) has recently been cleared.
Anyway.... just found this thread so now understand why it's all the way it is. It's a shame as the place has tonnes of potential. Looks like you guys have been putting in a lot of effort with the FC.
Are there any other good spots in the area? Heard of some trails over towards Herne Bay? Any tips on locations would be cool.
Go to Perry Woods a lot as it's just up the road. That's pretty fun and I helped clear some of the old overgrown & forgotten back trails around there a while back but it's pretty small really. Idiots dropping s**t everywhere, spray painting and cutting down trees needlessly doesn't do anyone any favours.
