We rode the golf course singletrack descent last night - the one from the bottom of the Banks towards the farm by the railway tunnel. The trail that's been quite badly water damaged/water inproved depending on you point of view. When I got to the little step jump after you cross the fairway bit, the step had gone and it's now akin to a sloping Middlewood Way from there to the bottom.

Utterly and totally bobbins. The 5 of us last night were gutted and I now find myself almost wanting a spell of wet weather so the water can start to do it's trail amending thing again.

Be grateful that the local authority is maintaining your local byways and bridleways. The trail will get washed away this winter, don't worry.
