Hi All
BB and I went for a walk this morning on the section
of the Dynamite Trail that has been surfaced with a
test surface. This is between the Clearland Road in
Mahone Bay and extends maybe 500 m towards the
Mushamush bridge. The trail is multipurpose.
The product used for the test is a mixture of Class A
Gravel and ground up roofing shingles from the land
fill site. From memory the material is 50 - 50 each.
The roofing shingles have been put into landfill for
many years. Most have been exposed to the weather for
up to 25 years so shouldn't pose any hazards at this
time. 
The surface is nice to walk on and has stood the
recent wet weather well. No pot holes. Looks like good
footing for horses also.
The white pines along the side of the trail that grown
since the railway was abandoned. The branches are
starting to meet - in a few years it will be like
walking through the woods.
Have a nice winter
Paul
