GTA Volunteer Maintenance Day - 19 June, 2010

Saturday, 19 June, 2010 - 09:30
Ride Database Entry: 
Glenrock State Conservation Area
Meeting Point: 

Top of Baileys Paddock.

-32.949719, 151.732825

We have spoken to the NPWS and they are OK with us doing a bit more substantial work on 'the trail formerly known as BJ's'.
I'd like to think we can get as much interest as we did with ' the trail forerly known as SH's'.

We will meet at the top of Bailey's Paddock around 9.30 for a 10am start down at the trail.

NPWS ranger Tiffany will be attending and NPWS will supply snacks and drinks, you will have to bring your own lunch if you want it.

Everyone is welcome, new starters or old hands and bring your friends, there will be a lot of work to do.

1. Your favourite trail building tool eg Mattock, shovel, mcleod
2. Sunscreen and a hat
3. Lots of water and food
4. Insect repellent

Ride Database Entry:

Meeting Point: 

Meet at "the gate opposite 194 scenic drive" entrance to the powerline easement at 9.30am so we can be down there working by 10.

Yes we're going out again.

The local NPWS rangers are wanting to take some visitors, NPWS managers out to look at the trails during the second week of May.

These guys have a lot of say in the funding and future of our volunteer group and the mountainbike trails project. So we'd like to show them some good work.

We will be working on the 'Shit Happens' site again, to tidy it up and try to have it completely finished.

RNP Trail Maintenance Meeting Point

This is a trail maintenance day at Royal National Park.

Just a reminder of another day of track maintenance is scheduled for this Saturday. I'm told I have to pick my game up and supply morning tea.

We'll be working on the temptation creek area so you can meet us on the track just up from the creek crossing if you don’t want to come to the office.
