Last night 8 people arrived to conquer Switchback 6, or at least make a start on it.
The weather forecast had been forbidding all week: showers heading to rain etc. This was only modified to a chance of showers at 4pm.. That and the low cloud kept many people in front of their televisions. In the end it was warm, and did not rain at all.
The corner itself is taking shape, and it will be pretty challenging to make into a thing of beauty. Due to the local terrain (i.e. very bloody steep) it has quite a drop of about 2 metres, and there are the usual huge lumps of rock.
Large chunks of the nearby trail was also widened, and a spot made for a seat.
So great progress was made, well done everybody !
We will be back there next Saturday, however the Tuesday after may well be at a new bit of the trail, 900m closer to home, and far easier to get to and from in these days of diminishing evening light ..
I shall keep you posted.
See you on the side of a hill !
