eatons cutting

[bill2]

Me and my mate went down there today to see if the track is ok after the storm, we moved all of the tree except one, so if someone lives close to there or can take a chain sore up there and cut it down, it is too big to move. Also watch out for the tree just encase (sp?) it hasn’t been cut down yet its at the bottom section of the main track.


Cheers

Good work mate ! Where exactly is the big tree that you can't move and how thick is the trunk ?

[bill2]

its right after the two little trees that you go over and just befor the jump threw the two trees down the very botom, another track comes out right next to it. its a bit hard to explain sorry and its about half a meter think im not sure sorry i cant help that much with that. I am not good and telling how thick trees are.

cheers

hey guys good work with moving all the trees, why dont you put a man made jump up against the tree? i have one that i built a while ago and hasn't been used. it's 90cm high. just a thought.

Would that be classified under north shore because if it is it would get ripped down. Someone hurt themselves of one so now we can not build it. But still could work.

Hey fellas,

I have just been for a walk up at Eatons to check the damage. There is a lot of work to be done so I am planning on heading up tomorrow with some heavy artilary :D.

If anyone can make it to give me a hand it would be much appreciated. I am planning on getting there around 11 - 12.

If you can make it please PM me so I can get some details from you.

Cheers Leigh ;)
