I know this won't win me any popularity points, but I'd hate to see purpose built mb trails in Lady's Cannings plantation. This is a beautiful and quiet wood, on a busy Summer's day when burbage is swarming, one can wonder quietly around these wood's and up to Houndkirk in relative peace. Although it may start as a local thing, surely there is a fair chance are it will eventually be swarming with MB's and changed forever, with even more pressure on the area around Burbage.I am a MB er and am fully supportive of the need for trails, but surely there are better places to do it - to spread the load. E.g why not build some proper xc, ramp trails down the side of win hill, much more space, less locals and much better parking?Sorry for being a Kiljoy
I can get there , it's only a few mins from home for me - now I've finished A&E. FD - I want my bikes back

All the more reason to come to the meeting. I heaertily agree with Cofe too, the situation with the ST land around Ladybower is a joke. Thankfully, Ride The Peak are keeping up the pressure and the fact that people unknown are building trails is putting pressure on the local managers to come up with a solution........

Biggest problem is to provide a workable web based forum for the new group without going to a full-blown website. Apart from Facebook and Yahoo groups, has anyone got any bright ideas?
