Me and Dane had the chance to spend the afternoon in the semnoz last saturday build and maintaining some parts of the trail, we came across a nice section of terrain with a nice gradient and a big old rock that was sitting there at the top. So we decided to re-route the trail for about 20 metres so that we could have the opportunity to hit the rock drop. The rock itself is about 1 metre high with a 2 metre length to the landing, we needed to create a better entrance to the rock so Dane used is building skills to lay a few foundations and a good solid mud pack on top. Sorted!
I continued down the trail to prepare the landing area and the rake away all the debris, rocks, logs etc...to create a nice pathway that joined back onto the main trail further down. So we were pretty happy to get this sorted in around 3 hours, just in time for the dusk sun to start coming through the trees creating the perfect lighting environment for shooting. So after the build we managed to try it out and get a few nice shots before heading down into annecy for an ice cold Tanqueray and tonic.....just intime for the Annecy Fete du lac that night. What a day!!!! - wazza
