Recent ATA session completed on Macchiato to remove some of the loose rocks on the climb and trail itself. Cut back branches/brash in the lower section of the trail and attempt to improve drainage at the bottom of the trail

Trail has been cleared of gorse, broom, the tree and is rideable all the way. Could do with a little more work to widen and tidy up.
