skip to 4:15 🙂

was that lumps a vertebrae or his shoulder blade?

I really like the one you've captioned "WOW".

it was something in his shoulder. His back wasn't broken.

I like the reprise panorama – cos i'm in it, doing a similar route to the boggies but in the right direction!?!

Great pics, really like the panos.

but in the right direction!?!

I just prefer the excitement (& fear) of going down the ladder and off Rushup and into The Roych. I've done it the other way a couple of times but didn't like it as much. People seem quite polarised over this.

superb, hats off

It's a fair point sfb, good either way i'm sure, the drop down to Roych from where we passed you is a lot of fun though, and I like the challenge of the steps climbing up Rushup. Jacobs as a down is a slow down for me whereas the drop down Oaken Clough is less steep but fast, like the grassy field down to the Kinder reservoir too

Good route that 🙂

I like the funny gate latch handles on Ruchup Edge

Jacob's Ladder (before I made a tit of myself in front of the two walkers)

edit: lol t-i-t is in the swear filter!

Kit, sadly that track over to Coldwell Clough was sanitised and the gates replaced 🙁

Nice pano's What stitching software do you use?

Great panos! Looks like a fun ride!

Again wow. Great pics SFB.

Superb photos as always,Simon.

Graham told me about the 'grumpy git' whilst he was descending Jacob's Ladder…..FFS,why are people like that?

FFS,why are people like that?

I understand it was Graham's fault for not saying 'please'…

first time i looked at that i thought he was riding down no-handed. but as i look again i ask "why is he walking?". and i think "he prob couldn't even track stand" 😉

It was actually supposed to be a beginner circular ride round Hayfield, but when no raw newbies turned up I changed it for the benefit of the more seasoned riders, but there were a few who didn't attempt the ladder descent. The rider in that shot isn't one of our group.
FYI, I cannot trackstand either 🙂

The rider in that shot looks to have a very flat rear tyre…

excuses excuses….

it's in a little channel in the track 🙂

Simon, sorry to hijack but me and my bro in law once did a ride on the moor above Pecket well, it was a figure of 8 that he got off Bogtrotters i think. Is there any chance of you sending me a link to a map please?

Cheers Jason

Was the guy with the lump not a boggy?

try here: Limer's Gate

(move the mouse over the map to find routes and then hold down the control key to freeze the menu to select the one you want)

ive been closer than that so's the top of my dads mates head 🙂

if you mean the one that fell off, no, he was one of the riders on the Hope Challenge

The descent on your pics (although straight fwd) looks soo easy on your pics. First time I went straight down it without checking and boy could I have crushed a piece of coal into a diamond with my ass' 😯

The descent is fine once you're actually on it, but it does take a bit of MTFU at the top.

that always happens. It is very steep, always scares the shit out of me but I enjoy that 🙂

Setting off from the top with the rocks covered in ice and snow is a tad daunting.

Cracking pics btw

Was almost speachless with admiration but i guess it's a different Jacob's ladder.
