I'm going out with Julius tomorrow to mark trails around Burnt Bridge area. B route stuff or A route or a bit of both. If you fancy joining us, post up and bring a staple gun, note book, pencil, GPS, small saw and some stamina :spl:

I need some help with making GPS tracks for the B route. It's now arrowed and the roll charts are complete and I need to get GPS tracks made. It would be a long day or could be done in 3 sections. If anyone can take this task please get in touch, it would be a great help.

Thanks

Hi Loz & Gang,

I was thinking of comming over from the mainland if you guys need pre ride helpers this weekend? I could help out Sat. May 2nd. and maybe 1/2 day on Sunday.

I'll PM you with questions.

Cheers,

Bugsinteeth

Cheers guys. Saturday is a good day and we'll meet at 9 - 10 (timing to be confirmed with Bugsinteeth) at the Koksilah prov park by burnt bridge.

We have these tasks to complete:

Ride the entire B route and make good GPS tracks. A good days work for 2 riders minimum. Roll charts available for this route but good to have a guide for this to avoid any missed turns etc that may screw up the tracks.

Place arrows on Section 4 of the B route. Approx 2 hrs riding.

Place arrows on section 1 of the A route. Approx 2 hrs riding.

Place arrows on section 2 of the A route. Approx 2 hrs riding.

Finish placing arrows on section 4 of the A route. Approx 2 hrs riding.

So far we have me, Aflica, Bugsinteeth, and Lonewolf. We could use at least one more local rider who knows the trails and a few more for company.

Bring GPS, note book, pencil, small saw, staple gun if you have one (we'll end up with ten or none I bet:shoot:). I find a fanny pack is good for keeping all the gubbins handy.

Loz out.

Hi Loz,

Sounds like a good plan. 9:30 AM. Sat.

I'm expecting to make it over Fri evening. Will likely camp at the provincial park.

Looking foreward to it!
