Gawton Downhill Dig Days
Posted: January 07th 2010
The dig day scheduled for the 10th Jan has been cancelled because of the bad weather forecast for the day. The dig day scheduled for 31st Jan will currently still go ahead and Gawton DH will be shut for riding that day. Currently access to the Gawton DH car park is difficult and the car park itself is pretty much snow bound. Turning round is pretty difficult too! Attempting access to the Tavi Woodlands car park is not recommended (unless you have a 4WD and/or winter tyres!)
