Just a brief introduction. Tyneside Outdoors (TO) are running a BMX Track Heritage project with young people in South Shields. The project is looking at the BMX Dirt Track in Temple Park, South Shields and look at all aspects of the track and its context with the park, South Sheilds, and the 1980's. We've already found some interesting stuff. We've even found the track! Well parts of it, so far. We'll shre what we find on a local Facebook Group (Temple Park BMX Dirt Track) and will share when we can on this forum too. Over this winter we hope to cut back all the overgrown vegetation to expose the full width of the track, around its perimeter. However, as we're unclear about the original layout and how it work (2 directions?) we need a little help! Check out the photo of the 2nd or 2nd last jump that we've just cleared of 6ft high bramble.Also, we've got an event on Giving Tuesday, 27th November, when we're asking local people and businesses to lend us their support with some of the hard graft, clearing bramble, shrubs, etc. Check out the even on TO's FB page.[/img]
