(y) Coed y Brenin this morning. The waterfall was impressive My bike is just in shot on the right.

You had me really confused for a while there as I desperately searched for your bike in the water or trees ... until I realised you meant the other Right - also known as Left ... :)

Edit ... you just edited it !!
 
Here is what looks like two shots, but the second is actually a zoom in of the first one. What you are looking at is a section of trenches from World War One built by troops in training. The zig-zag trenches are coming down the centre of the picture. If not for the mtb activity, these would be completely grown over (as they used to be).

It is astonishing how much is still there after more than hundred years of weather erosion, and the planting and harvesting of trees over so many years. No doubt the trench sides were steeper and the trenches themselves would have been much deeper when they were originally dug out by hand. They are protected now, so those trees will remain untouched until one falls.

Where is this? It's a trail to the left of the Bike park (as you descend) at Sherwood Pines, near Old Clipstone, UK.

It's astonishing to think that even 100 years ago, young men in a forest thought it would be a good idea to make a start on a bike park. Truly ahead of their time :)

I think it is even more astonishing that Steve can remember where he dug them. He's got a remarkable memory.
 
Steve was ranking Sergeant Major, at the time
He was known as "Sergeant Short Handle" .. he always failed to secure his shovel to the back of the wagon properly. It would drop down and drag along wearing the handle shorter ...

(That probably wouldn't make any sense unless you've read a lot of old threads which often involved tassels ...)
