10 tonnes of rock!
That's how much material was used last month to remediate a badly eroded section of the Manly Dam trail (8 tonnes of crushed sandstone and another 2 tonnes of flagging).
A small group of volunteers joined Trailcare for the first volunteer maintenance day at Manly Dam in more than 2yrs
The 3rd Saturday of each month is the new recurring date for volunteer maintenance at the Dam
Northern Beaches council and the rangers at the dam are supporting our sport by supplying material and hand tools for each of these days
Manly Dam Trail Maintenance this weekend (19th Aug)

The first of these will be this coming Saturday (19th August) and will focus on a section of trail between the 19th hole and the playground at the corner of Churchill Crescent and Cootamundra Drive.
Trailcare has identified several sections of the trial that need significant attention and these will be the target of furture volunteer days
Lost Topeak Alien Bike tool
Hi Guys
Looks like my Topeak Alien bike tool has fallen off my bike!
Most likely on Manly Dam trail - I suspect on the fast downhill sections on the Alambie Road side.
Less likely Gahnia trail.
It is in it's black canvas case - reckon the belt loop snapped...
I'd be most grateful if anyone finds it, to get back to me.
More sentimental value than anything else..it's saved me a few long walks home...
Cheers
Errol
