As you climb in to the top of 'Home baked' carry straight on rather than turning right into the woods, turn left when you get to a path, this takes you to the road, over the road and follow your nose downhill. This will bring you to the car park by the res, then take the road for a short while and turn left back on to the 8.</p> <p>Something a bit like this</p> <p><img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/9rsh9x.png"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/gisburn-forgotten-routes#post-3197548 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:11:26 +0000 fizzer 3197548@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>yes the fairhill bit was excellent </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/gisburn-forgotten-routes#post-3197473 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 09:56:08 +0000 amasaback 3197473@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Some of the best bits have been lost to tree felling. There were some great sections in the trees on either side of the red route where it bypasses Hully Gully. This were part of an old NAMBS downhill course used in the mid to late nineties. There were some other great bits of singletrack in the trees just after this on the other side of the fireroad around the remains of Fairhill Farm. Again, this was used by NAMBS, but for the XC race. We had actually taped out this bit as we thought that Martin was going to use it as part of the red route (the 8), but unfortunately it got obliterated by the loggers. Maybe it will get used when they extend the current red route.</p> <p>Anyone else remember these bits?? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/gisburn-forgotten-routes#post-3196901 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 23:25:31 +0000 B.A.Nana 3196901@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>The best bits of the old route have been included afaic, there weren't many of them.

Bought the DVD for my shonky N95, then, when the iPhone app appeared I bought that and loaded half the UK onto the phone, from just north of Birmingham down, plus selected area of 1:25k. I also have UK Map, which is very good, it allows you to download free 1:25k and 1:10k OS maps, but there's no ability to log routes. Very useful though. I've got 11.2Gb of apps on my phone, and a very large chunk of that is maps, with CoPilot added on. Wouldn't be without it, it's fantastic. I'd like the old panorama view added sometime, though. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/veiwranger-on-iphone#post-3062153 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 21:13:00 +0000 dan1980 3062153@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Mobile Atlas Creator (version 1.8 i think) allows you to create your own os maps for free by downloading tiles from multimap. </p> <p>Not sure if it'll make viewranger maps though, I'll check when I get home.

I've had the actual map for about 4-5 yrs nearly since it came out. It's been on nokias &amp; now on my iPhone just by updating the software. You Can just buy the tiles you want so you can customise your maps to suit the areas that you regularly ride in. I've got a 1:25000 one that stretches from Calderdale to the peaks. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/veiwranger-on-iphone#post-3061821 Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:31:22 +0000 Drac

Very impressive especially for the money. They're a bit dull and could do with a bit more high end but apart from that the rest sounds very nice and clear. Solid bass without being muddy and you can actually hear all the instruments and subtleties in the mix. For £22 they're spot on. Oh and they were fine on the plane. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bose-please-explain#post-3011424 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:38:10 +0000 nicko74 3011424@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Another here who uses in-ear phones for flights and noise reduction. Even the non-active noise-cancellation kind are fine; if you get the fit right you cut out most of the noise of engines etc. Personally I was a Shure fan, but they kept breaking (E3, E4, SLC4 x2), so I switched to Etymotic hf5s. They're not quite the same sound, but incredibly detailed and recently the bass seems to have opened up a lot too. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bose-please-explain#post-3011380 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 22:53:14 +0000 I_Ache 3011380@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I have had some Tri-Port over ear headphones for about 7 years now and used to use them on a daily basis when commuting by train and they have been faultless I don't use them so much these days because I drive to work but when I do I am still very pleased with the sound they produce,and they are so comfortable. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/bose-please-explain#post-3011228 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:50:31 +0000 simons_nicolai-uk 3011228@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>flimsy construction for everyday use</blockquote></p> <p>The last time I looked at some in the Bose shop they felt flimsy and were broken</p> <p><blockquote>3) i'm not convinced of their NC capabilities for non-aircraft noises<br /> </blockquote></p> <p>Do you really need it elsewhere?</p> <p><blockquote>custom made ear inserts.</blockquote></p> <p>Got some of these on Shure earbuds but really don't find them comfortable. Too much 'in ear noise' when you chew/move your jaw. Make my ears sore quickly if i start inserting and removing them (eg on a plane when the stewardess/partner talks to you). I took my Sennheiser HD25's on my last long flight. Great sound, light and comfortable, effectively block out background noise. </p>
