Cheddar pump track taking shape

Work is well underway to create a new pump track in Cheddar, which will provide a fantastic new facility for the local community to enjoy.

We have supplied almost 90 lorry loads of aggregates from our Batts Combe quarry in the village as well as a further nine lorry loads of asphalt to create a smooth, safe surface.

The pump track is suitable for bikes, scooters and skateboards and riders use their arms and legs to pump and gain momentum to carry them around the track. The circuit is designed to be suitable for riders of all skills levels.

“This is an amazing community project and one which we are delighted to be involved with,” said unit manager Simon Parkes.

“It is going to have widespread appeal and will provide a great place for everyone on wheels to practice their skills and enjoy the great outdoors.”
