In reply to Sam W:
The jump was a one off and has been removed. There has been some concern raised however from local people, the Forestry Commission and the local climbing clubs, as although mountain biking is allowed in the woods, building trails and jumps are not and unfortunately there has been a big increase in trails over the last year.
I've been biking and climbing in the woods myself over the last 20 years so hopefully this stunt, impressive though it is, will not jeopardise future access.
The BMC did pay the Forestry to help clear some of the trees below the crag several years ago to help with air flow and the drying of the crag.
One point of note is that another local crag nearby (Scratchmere Scar) has had all access removed due to all the illegal trail building in the woods. No one is allowed in now including walkers. It's a shame as the location could have been managed well for everyone to enjoy. The BMC did renew access for a while for both walkers and climbers on the proviso that the bikers stopped using the woods.
Unfortunately throughout the Eden Valley we have lost access to over 5 crags in the last 10 years, due to either aggravated land owners or the changing of ownership. I know as climbers we don't have a right to be on private land but some of these places have enjoyed access for 50 years, so it's a great loss when we do lose access due to a few thoughtless individuals.
