Right people I'm writing up a summary for the project page.

I am putting up 'Preparation H' as a name for the red loop.

I have no propriety over this and do not want to put anybodys nose out of joint but I do want a descion quickly please.

Feel free to agree or disagree, I just want it to have a name.

So names in, top 3, all vote, bish, bash, bosh, bobs your uncle, sorted!

Or ignore me and I'll just get on with it!

Nb, apathy is your enemy... :wink:

Cheers j

The only vaguely good name I ever came up with in the woods was "Weird Wood" and TBH I'm not entirely sure I didn't get that off someone else :oops:

Red Loop appeals to the simple soul in me but I realise it's about as exciting as piles :lol: and that reminds me .....

I'm hopeless at naming, as per 'Knackeriser' or whatever was settled on for the log ride section, I think PJ probably regretted offering me the honour :roll: . 'First Blood' sounds pretty appropriate tho. for the red.

with "First Blood" and "Rambo" we could have a Sly Stallon theme for our trails, although "Stop, or my mom will shoot" probably isn't the best name for a mountain bike trail.....

The black climb could be "don't push me!".

And I think were missing the obvious one for the drop on the DL - ROCKY!

I like 'Don't Push Me'

Is 'First Blood' a goer then?

Its certainly along the lines i was thinking with Preperation and on a personal note it has claimed both my shins and i once bent my middle ring by the bottom of the first descent (how is that even possible!)... :shock:

Taking into account comments made above, here is my proposal.....

Leave the whole loop as stainburn Red Loop. Let's face it, nowhere else really names a whole trail. They are all just Red, Blue, Green etc.

Following on from my First Blood suggestion and using Moes and Yoda's idea, name sections as follows...

From car park to woods - First Blood
From woods (little boulder field) to top corner - Demolition Man
From corner down to skinnies - Judge Dredd
From skinnies to car park - Don't push me.
Rename the DL - Clubber Lang ("You're Going Down!") with features on the way down called Rocky I, Rocky II, Rocky III and so on.

Happy just to go with First Blood as a whole also, if that's what the majority want.

Jase can put it to the vote once all the ideas are in.

How about calling the entire red loop "Dry River trail" -cos it just doesn't flow!! :lol: :twisted:

cos as we all know......if you want flow go sit in a river (or summat like that)

naming individual sections is inkeeping with what's been done historically, so I think we should respect that.

On a personal note, naming the black climb 'don't push me', had it's obvious double meaning, which loses that on the red loop return. Also the other names for the red loop sections are Stalone films, 'don't push me' isn't.

Warren was a casualty of that construction, a bit like the Japanese Burma railway, the siberian work camps, they all had their casualties. There's a simple gravestone somewhere.




I think that section of forest is called Warren Plantation, named on OS maps and therefore presumably on FC, LC and CC documents.

That's fine by me, and I totally understand. The only reason I used it there, was that I liked the term and it's not part of the red loop.
Looking back at Yodas suggestions, Escape to victory is probably more appropriate for the return leg.
