Muddynuts uk trails

[muddynutsrc]

Over the last 10 mths I have been building some trails in my land. I started last December, the land was fulley over grown to the point we’re you couldn’t even walk through the area and the old pond was non existent and there was zero natural rock and this area is all solid clay. I will slowly post a few photos to bring the progress up to date.
The first few pics are after the first two day of clearing.

next i started collecting rock and lots of it! all free from facebook market place were people were re doing there gardens. the photos have actually jumped forward a few months as this lot took quite some time and went through a few iterations.
There are multiple lines in this section ranging in difficulty, What we have noticed on this yorkstone is that the climate conditions make huge differences. soon as there is a bit of dampness the lines are totally different which keep it super interesting and makes you always want to go back for more!. many hours have been spent trying to get up a few of these climbs.

Just a bit too far for me I was hoping to gate crash.

We then started on another section, this one is all sand stone so again quite different to drive and is the most local type of rock we have in the area. It was a bit of a temporary quick build still got a huge amount to do but it gives a bit more to play on.

Excellent use of some extra space! Lucky find with all that free sandstone. All I can get up here in Wales is slippery slate

After a good weekend of trailing a friend put this together, and yes we are mid winter with a lot of mud around not that we don’t love it :)

Great looking course looks like one of those tough truck challenge courses. Fantastic job with all of the wood work in the bridges and the mini garage!

Cheers many thanks it’s getting there but a bit of a never ending job trying to get the land back in shape as well as build the course. Loads of stuff I’d like to do but finding the time is a different story. I have to admit I love the tough truck vids you see and I think that will be a future build, give it a mounth or so and things will start drying up and Incan replace all those poor bearing that have been tortured for the last year!
