Hi all
We have a large, unused and overgrown gravel-based horse paddock (no desire to get any gee-gees either thankyouverymuch either, I don't care what my daughter says).
We live in the middle of nowhere and I think it would be great to build a pump track in it so the *ahem* kids and their mates can rake about on it. Not something the kids get everyday due to our location.
I know there are backyard pumptrack vids on YouTube but they are short on precise dimensions on sizes of humps and bumps and corners and all that (I'm more of a road dweller, can you tell?). Has anyone made their own one? My eldest is only 7 so I'm not looking anything enormous/dangerous but something I can scoot about on would also be preferable so not completely tame!
Tips/comments/advice/ideas all welcome!
I have access to a minidigger and have been promised some willing slave labour by some friends under my 'no dig, no ride' mantra
