Many threads across a range of forums have all talked about trail access.
Is it worthwhile Farkin having something dedicated to trail access?
Somewhere people can talk about the good and bad things that are happening with access to trails:
* trail closures
* cycling plans
* park plans of management
* trail maintenance day
* advice for trail advocates
* links to good sources (eg MTBA and IMBA)
Trail closures (even in urban areas) are a common issue across XC, DH and DJ and the solutions are also similar - know the law, have a good relationship with the land manager, residents and other users, and be prepared to help in planning and managment.
Just after some thoughts.
