Kia Ora Supporters and Friends of DOTConditions look good for us to run another dig day this Sunday - 17th August. Nick will be along with the power barrows and compactors so plenty of fun to be had by all. We will be a little short of our DOT members this weekend so would really appreciate a good turnout of experienced and willing volunteers to help us get some more gravel (or clay) down in order to ensure the tracks are in sublime condition come spring and summer.
The Plan -
If you want to join our mahi this Sunday, please meet us at the stockyards (half way up Rapaki) for a 9.30am safety and work-plan briefing. Depending on numbers, we'll allocate volunteers to work groups. If you've not been to our dig sessions before, and/or you have never worked around power barrows and compactors, can you please make sure that you check in with Murray or Gray for a Health and Safety briefing.
What to bring -
Wear sturdy shoes, gloves, warm clothes and bring some water - and/or a thermos of your favourite brew if you want to remain for a chat and a cuppa afterwards.
We supply the tools but please bring your own (spade or grubber), if you can or prefer.
We appreciate that the weather looks great for riding but we guarantee that you will get a great sense of satisfaction and enjoyment by (potentially) sacrificing one riding day to show some love to the trails you enjoy. Grab a friend or two and come along.
