Winter is a very busy time for the fox family, planning rebuilding
All aspects of the wall of death. From vehicles to the wall it’s self
Improving to maintaining is very important. The changes under taken
In the winter months will help the show to become more efficient during the summer.

As always all the work is carried out by members of the ken fox
