Winter takes its toll but but these will be back and dialed for sure. Tartan trails.
craftsmanship.

to me, something that takes time and efffort, practice and will, is considered a trade. or craft.
ive always thought of building trails as a trade. when you first pick up that spade, you are a clueless youth, only led by the crazy pictures you would of seen in magazines. (before web edit apocalypse)
i remember being clueless. just stacking up that pile of whatever dirt, packing it in with my feet and sending it. all day. ruts? no bother. collapsed? go a bit faster.
nowadays, throughout the years you develop skills, much like a trade. and through practice, determination and a bit of “stack it and see”
, you become a master of the spade.
no longer is it whatever dirt, but its a carefully picked amount of that thick top soil clump, stacked up precisely to a height that you calculated from the jump before and the gradient blah blah……
ruts? hell no. that badboy is covered in a coat of the finest clay you can find and beat to death till your ears are ringing.
collapsed? well we have to say praise for tarps! haha.
i find it fascinating how throughout trial and error and practice, anyone can learn anything. anyone can be good at something you just have to put the effort in.
this video is of a chap making a carving. the work i do is a world apart from this but the same techniques apply. apart from i use crazy grinders and air guns and he uses humble hand tools such as the stone saw and rasps.
if you are dedicated to something enough, it will turn out amazing.
roll on summer…..
