erm, have you got permission for this? I ask because the council will most likely knock down anything you build in the next few weeks.
They regularly make trips to Meanwood Valley to ruin all the jumps and tracks, so i'd be very wary of wasting my time.It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

So? Probably means no ones reported it yet or the council haven't found out.
Nothing to stop the council coming along and destroying if you havent asked for permission.
You dont want to do a load of hard work only for it to go do you?0 -
I would imagine that the area you are talking about is actually owned by the University. They'll never allow it to happen if you don't get permission, there would be too much risk for them in the event of an accident.
Seriously, try and find out who owns the land as otherwise you're wasting your time. 3-4 weeks isn't a lot of time. Knowing Leeds Met and LCC (I've lived here the last ten years!) they'll be having meetings about organising people in to flatten it. It's a sad thing, but it happens.It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Doing building on private land without permission isn't often a very good idea. But talking about it on the internet is just daft. If you're going to build a cheeky trail build it in a cheeky manner.Uncompromising extremist0
