Here is what peynier looks like now... This photo does not do the craziness justice.
@Tom there was a "trail building guide" thread in the lounge a few months ago, search for it. At mine we have to take 3-6" of pine needles and mulch off the top to get to rideable ground, I usually rake some clay over the top to bring it back to ground level. Long handled Tarmac rakes are really useful for both clearing and shaping, consider getting one. Yo!
