Are you a mountain biker or visitor to Cave Hill Country Park? If so, we'd welcome your views on 'The Middle' mountain bike trail, which we opened with Cavehill Mountainbikers last year. Find out more & complete a survey at: ow.ly/Mc3n50Qco8k
Great news - the Belfast City Council People & Communities Committee meeting tonight has just approved our MOU essentially this means that the ‘pilot’ Middle Trail evaluation has been successfully completed and we are now permanent. It’s taken a while but we have finally got there!
Productive meeting with local police today alongside Nuala McAllister MLA Discussed: 💥 Tackling interface tensions ✅ Early intervention and youth diversion 🏍️ Dealing with scramblers 🚔 Tackling paramilitaries and zero tolerance towards paramilitary symbols
The National Trust survey covering Divis & Black Mtn has absolutely no provisions for cycling & mountain biking, let’s challenge the restricted cycling access let them know there are more users than just walkers! divisandtheblackmountain.com
Bernard McClure Cavehill Mountainbikers Woodland Trust🌳 Nuala McAllister MLA I’ve made contact & asked for a meeting. The direction of travel should be to provide access to the hills for as many people as possible and that should include cyclists who have been using (& often maintaining) for a very long time. Hopefully we can find a sensible solution.
Massive thanks this morning to the volunteers from Hays UK who carried out essential trail maintenance on the Middle Trail supported by Mark and his team from Belfast City Council and organised by neighbourly.com
Many thanks to one of the Cavehill Conservation Campaign Group Volunteers who kindly removed graffiti on the signage for the Middle Trail using a kit supplied by Belfast PCSP and Belfast City Council Before and after shots.
Please note that the path highlighted (red & white) in the attached map will be closed for filming on Friday the 13th of Sept from 7am to 12 noon. We ask all mountain bikers to avoid this area during these times. Belfast City Council
