Email picked up this morning:
------------------
Subject: Downhill Championship CANCELLED
The UK Downhill Championship and British stage of the European Downhill Tour have been cancelled.
------------------
Despite not being able to attend (see previous posting), I was genuinely surprised and downhearted feeling that the weekend was a great opportunity to do what mountain boarders do best - start at the top of the hill and get to the bottom as fast and as imaginatively as possible. Plus with the amount of work done so far on the hill, it's a real shame that all that had to go to waste.
Musings on the facebook ATBA page appears to put the blame on the campsite owners and Natural England though I've not heard anything official yet....
So....in an attempt to make the most of the weekend, Goofy Mark is suggesting that the Whinlatter meet postponed from late last year be resurrected, details of which are starting to emerge on the Surfing Dirt forums here.
If you want to hear information from the ATBA first, make sure you sign up to their news letter on their main page here, or join their facebook page here.
