The 7th December brings us to the first major Dig Day of the Winter, we will be doing a major revamp of Ricochet (DH3) and need as many of you to help out. This is a big project like the scale of the Surface to Air one that we completed last year, so with your help we will turn this track into something once again unique and fun!
When’s the next one?
The next dig day will be on Sunday 7th December.
What we doing?
Starting work on Ricochet.
What shall I bring?
Other than your bad self, you’ll also need boots (safety boots are a great idea), gloves, eye protection and warm clothing.
Is this your first time?
If you haven’t come along to a dig day before then you’ll need to read the code of conduct and fill in a Trail Crew form. You can download one here to print and bring along on the day.
I want to know more! Sign me up!
Want to know when dig days are happening? Then you need to get our Hillbilly mails!
Hi
I want to get involved helping with the dig days, so could I be informed when they are?
Thanks
Jordan - you need to join the above emails for the most up-to-date info.
Hi
Im 16 am i still allowed to help?
Cheers
Can I come and tidy up the woods with my chainsaw please…
also when I went to park today the carpark was locked.
Zak - as long as you have the permission of a parent or guardian.
Bob - what time was this? You’d be welcome to come along with your chainsaw, but I think you know what’s coming! You’d need to have the relevant certification and safety kit, it would have to be with the FC’s permission and there would have to be a member of the AH committee organising it so everything is recorded. If this sounds good then it’d be great to hear from you.
Aston hillbilly.
yep happy to saw the woods and keep the trails clear.
Im a fully qualified tree cutting type chap and would be able to undertake all types of forestry operations and course maintenance.
Im approx 15mins away by car.
ah yes 09.30hrs.there was a couple of xc boys parked in the road too.
I went around wendover woods but could not find the warden.went home and trued up my wheels tho so all is not lost.
If you’re a member then it’d be great to have you along at the AGM - that’d be the best place to meet everyone face to face. We already have one tree surgeon who helps out and it’d be great to have more to call on for help.
I used to race at Aston hill about 5 years ago. I loved it there. Just found it has re opened and I am keen to help out. When is the next dig day in 2012.

Hi Garrick,
There’s a dig this Sunday. Best bet to stay on top of future digs is to sign up to the email - link above.
