Thanks to the research and guidance of David Brunckhorst, NEMTB have turned a new leaf in sustainable track construction. The Brunckhorst family have all had a close relationship with the construction of mountain bike tracks for a number of years, from developing Fat Tyre Farm to Ben’s involvement with the professional track builder World Trail (http://www.world-trail.com/).
David has been providing technical guidance, producing a number of
simplified track building manuals, formal presentations and a
significant level of guidance infield during design and construction. So
now we have approximately 700m of world class trail which incorporates
all the sustainability to ensure the trail will last a significant time
longer with only minor maintenance needed. NEMTB is looking forward to
utilising these principles for all track construction or rehabilitation
work in the future. To get an appreciation of these principles read the
resource material created by David by following this link (http://www.nemtb.com.au/home/resources/sustainabletrailbuilding). |
