    Has anyone hear ever approached the county council etc about opening a trail?
    Anyone familiar with the procedure?

    Or does anyone have a contact who has? The guys in Rathoath BMX perhaps?

    Very tight for time, I could do with bending someone's ear about this.

    The trails I know of are on Coillte land. It seems they're happy to take anyone's money for recreational use of forestry land.

    Might be better heading off to MADMTB or EpicMTB forums, they've both ran races on Caoilte land that would of needed approval.

    It would do no harm to post your question onto these sites:
    These guys have loads of experience at trail-building.

    Well the first question is - what do you want from the County Council? Are they the landowner? Do you want funding? Planning permission?

    Get in touch with MBI for some advice.

    Council own the land. We want to use it!
    Funding would hopefully be minimal, just you shower with shovels!

    PP would be temporary.

    EDIT > All the above contacted. tnx.
