The Farmring - Part 2

Work started on the Farmring (permanent course :) ) today. That meant, first and foremost a good trim for the field in question with the flail mower. Hadn't been done for a while. I'd read somewhere on the internet (which knows everything, remember) that rotovating (or tilling, as they say in the US of A) is a good idea as not only does it help "draw" the track but it also make the soil much easier for moving around for jumps etc.

That's how far I've got. Tomorrow, if the weather holds, I'll get the spade and shovel out and start "shaping" it - but I suspect bigger features like banked turns will have to wait a while until I'm happy with the overall layout and have tried it out a bit.
