Cool pics, am up home the weekend after next and will sling the old spade in and have a pop up if am not moving burms up summerhill!Anyone heard from barry recently? I don't think I seen him since the end of Fens which was over 8 years ago now!I see Schulze every now and then, i think he has been racing motor cross and doing quite well at it! He turns up at Summerhill every so often and schools the place with his nac nacs!

Just to add to your opening history lesson... There was the nightmare time (late 80's) when the whole place was planned to be used as a tip and one sad day the then existing jumps we built had been bull-dozed. Still, what was a bulldozer compared to a group of enthusiastic kids with a shovel each, and with a fresh canvess to work on the jumps were re-built, bigger and better than ever. Remember the abuse that council woman got when she and fellow council planners were in the quarry making plans of the "supposed" tip. Was it a petition from the locals "not" wanting a smelly tip in the area that sent them finally packing.You also forgot to mention another person who put a lot of effort into the building... how could you forget your own brother.............TED Interesting photo of Adam and trying to figure out who is in the background... I can see (from left to right)Paul GraySpud TateDunnoNigel HuttonDunnoDunno (but it could be Dan Galloway)Keith Thompson (wearing a cracking jumper)Dunno DunnoNick FosterDunnoCan anyone name anymoreAnd finally I think that must be the only pic (and ive only just noticed) that Im riding my 1st BMX ... the mighty Puch Murray... what a suprise to see that again
Some really good stuff from Mike Hill's photo collectionMore to follow ...
