it is a black grade rock garden so is suppose it should be expected

i dread to think what they would do with a black grade shrubbery

Probably fill it with nettles.....''

Just looked at the forcast for next sat at cannock on netweather and they are sayin' 80-85% chance of rain with 3-4mph wind.

it would a narrow channel between to hedge type stuctures, made from the above nettles and thorns. it would only just be wider than a bar width and in some places gong narrower. also there would be turns and tricky things to ride over. so that if you were to dab or fall, the penalty would painful

kangaroo

at the moment its just lightly overcast down here
ive just looked at the forcast for next saturday and it says nice

here it is
Mostly clear skies. High 17C and low 7C. Air Quality: NA, UV Index: NA

Good idea, may be a good idea to do this at various sections so we can get a collection of vids/fotos of the day..
