Sat, 11/10/2007 - 16:01 - On the 10th of November 2007 the Trailfairies rebuilt the exits to The Pie Run, a section of trail that they had built back in 2005. In this shot Andy Wardman is preparing the surface of the smoothest of the trail's three exits prior to starting up the wacker plate. Andy can be a bit of a perfectionist about this but if done right it does produce a hard wearing surface that will stand up to a lot of use. ©Sat, 08/04/2007 - 11:41 - On the 4th of August 2007 the Glentress Trailfairies decamped to Elibank forest in order to help prepare part of the course for the Selkirk Merida Marathon being held the following day. With the hard work completed a trailfairy tests out the new descent at Elibank. Sadly it rained heavily overnight and most of the 80km+ course disappeared in a sea of mud so whether any of our hard work was actually appreciated by the marathon's riders is hard to say. ©Sat, 08/04/2007 - 11:41 - On the 4th of August 2007 the Glentress Trailfairies decamped to Elibank forest in order to help prepare part of the course for the Selkirk Merida Marathon being held the following day. With the fettling of this section largely complete a trailfairy gives it a test ride while Andy, Kenneth and Matthew look on, making sure that the stone step stays steady as the bike goes over it. ©Sat, 08/04/2007 - 11:36 - On the 4th of August 2007 the Glentress Trailfairies decamped to Elibank forest in order to help prepare part of the course for the Selkirk Merida Marathon being held the following day. Matthew and Andy manoeuvre a large stone into place, adding some interest and a stone step into an otherwise largely featureless descent. ©Sat, 08/04/2007 - 11:28 - On the 4th of August 2007 the Glentress Trailfairies decamped to Elibank forest in order to help prepare part of the course for the Selkirk Merida Marathon being held the following day. Our task was to finesse a descent that had already been roughly machine-dug. Here Kenneth (I think) uses a McLeod to scrape loose debris from the trail surface. ©Sat, 07/28/2007 - 14:31 - On the 28th of July 2007 the Trailfairies descended on the Lombard Street section of Glentress's red route in order to repair a switchback corner that was showing signs of damage. With drainage installed and the corner reshaped, Andy Wardman uses the wacker plate in order to produce a firm riding surface. Without this compaction the loose hardcore would quickly be eroded by rain and bike tyres. ©Sat, 07/28/2007 - 12:02 - On the 28th of July 2007 the Trailfairies descended on the Lombard Street section of Glentress's red route in order to repair a switchback corner that was showing signs of damage. Here a number of trailfairies work on installing a drain to run under the corner's exit. ©Wed, 07/18/2007 - 20:50 - On the 18th of July 2007 an evening session of the Trailfairies worked on 'the third way', the third boardwalk option on Glentress's newly-built Essentials Freeride trail. ©
