Despite the rather brash thunderstorm which rocked up in the small hours of last night the SE raggers met up for a quick ride and build session this morning. Den, Rod and Srdj made an amusing vid of the track for the CGCC guys and I spent most of the morning building more ladders with Ed, who was on building duty due to having some freshly damaged ribs from the list riding session.

The main ladder area is looking pretty nice now, the leftmost ladder seems to be the one which catches most people out as it is not always on-camber and becomes a little lively when wet. The central ladder section is flowing nicely though, my favourite bit being the little kick at the end of the bottom which sends you off nicely on to the bottom section.

Today we worked mostly on a couple of new ladders which, when complete, will form a path along the rightmost edge of the tree-trunk. I think these are going to be nice when finished but will require good skills since there's a vertical drop of a good few feet if you come off the right hand side. I took a couple of pictures with my phone for posterity in case the whole thing gets wrecked by the local woodland dwelling 'community' like some of the other stuff we've built.

Oh, and I managed to make the ultimate trail building mistake of mistaking my Thumb for a nail
