Venue : Kirk Michael, rear of Isle of Man bank, next to Michael Car Center.

Many hands…

Leave a comment

This morning (Saturday) saw a group of fellow mtbers meet up at Conrhenny for some trail building.  Once the plans were discussed with the troops we all set to work and it wasn’t too long before we could really see the new boardwalk taking shape.  A short break for a spot of lunch, hot soup and hot dogs were on site but due to a small technical fault with the cooking facilities we had to resort to Costa tea, coffee and chip rolls, thanks to Clare, Sue and Phyllis for being dinner ladies.

So after 4 hours work we finished the two new sections of boardwalks and we would like to pay a huge thanks to those people for turning out to lend a hand, just goes to show that many hands truly do make light work!
