Had some water sitting in the berm so haven't been riding it, working on the fifth after it and drainage for the berm.
And that puts the photos up to date, I'll be going today to finish the fifth lander and hopefully ride it.
The line can branch left straight or right, I plan on getting the...
At this point it was a month since the start of the trails.
After the berm; cleared quite a bit. This can go further and to the right to join up with the start. It's slightly uphill.

a 2-3 hour session, had to move a big hardwood log to make the lander for the third hip.
Once again, kookaburra inspecting my work. He eats stuff around where I'm digging.
Second lander a bit thicker and wider.
Pit between second and third is done, drains to the hole on the right.

I've been working on this spot for almost 2 months now. Just by myself for now. These photos will show the progress that happened from the beginning up to now.
Here was after the first day of clearing:
Looking down the run in slope.
Starting first roller/pump into the first pit and...
I really should have drilled the head instead of the handle, but it's been holding up fine especially for a $20 shovel. I am making sure not to pull back much on tough clumps of dirt though.
Thanks for the shovel advice!
I wanted the extra security of hiding + being locked up so I'm happy.
The spot isn't secluded but it's been there for years and I've had places far into the woods flattened, so it's actually pretty safe.
Spent about 2 hours today rebuilding the first up ramp with...
Yeah I wish the hole I drilled was a bit smaller now but it's been fine so far so fingers crossed.
I live in Australia so can anyone recommend good shovels if this one dies?
Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up drilling a hole through the wooden handle and putting a stainless steel semi circle in so the locking cable can go through it. The loop is strong enough that I had to use a hammer to bend it in there so someone won't be able to bend it out by hand...
Yeah that will work but it was my last option, not sure if I have a padlock long enough and I don't know how well the wooden handle will hold up to being drilled, since it's a $20 shovel.
Hey guys I'm wondering how you go about locking up your shovels so they don't get stolen from your trails?
Can anyone share some wisdom?
My long handle shovel doesn't have a handle loop to go through with a cable/chain.
I've got some metal cables with a padlock.
