IMBA trail construction specifications
Aims & Objectives
The creation of a top-level recreational facility for wide cross section of
users.The creation of a challenging “premier” MTB facility, able
to draw enthusiast &highly experienced level mountainbikers, whilst still
being enjoyed by moderatelyexperienced mountainbikers
The systematic provision of increased off road, and where possible
off forest road access within the woodland, maximising singletrack
and providing challenging routes whilst minimising uncontrolled access
or environmental disturbance. Provision of an aesthetically pleasing & “fulfilling” countryside
experience.
Primary Considerations
Avoidance of environmental degradation or wildlife disturbance, prevention
of trail tread creep. Particular consideration must be given to the presence
of nesting schedule 1 bird species in areas of the forest. Avoidance of user
conflict, particularly in those areas where trails / users meet or share
trails.
Restriction of users to “on trail” activity, corralling
of users into chosen areas of woodland and avoidance of straying or
undesired activities.
Particular avoidance of conflict with ecological, historical or forest operation
interests. Minimising visual / perceptive impact.
Provision of interpretative & educational facilities for trail users.
Prevention of watercourse disturbance or pollution.
Ability of trail to support all weather use with minimal construction & maintenance
costs.
Road safety on areas of trail that may meet or cross public & forest roads.
General safety of trail and control of user speeds.
Public liability in event of user injury.
