Deciding what's important for you
This is where I find out what you want; whether it is a small local bike play area for children, a skills development area, a jumps park, a redesign of an existing piece of singletrack, a new safe non-motorised community link or a full-blown mountainbike trail network. This phase is a two way process, with the client detailing their requirements and me making sure all the various relevant development issues are touched upon.
Getting the funding you need
This consultancy phase can also open up ideas that hadn’t previously been considered - such as accessing new funding streams by planning trails that use more inclusive designs, to help a wider range of users enjoy the trails.
