We should be at the dig site between 10:20 and 2pm. It is recommended to bring warm clothes, plenty of snacks and a drink. All necessary training and tools are provided to ensure a safe and productive day. You could also join us on a ride and stop by for a while. Let us know you are coming, and we will bring enough tools. Experience and muscles are useful, but they are not a prerequisite for would-be volunteers.
The work will mainly involve:
- Digging drainage channels with spades and mattocks.
- Reshaping some lines.
- Clearing some vegetation.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me or email me james@peakdistrictmtb.org
