Most of my big mountain stuff is in Europe and you've seen all of them anyway! I saw BikeVerbier put some of mine up as their banners
Here's some Coniston shots from 2010 - the last reasonably big mountain ride I did in the UK actually
How are things? I'm having to work another weekend but should be able to get out for 3 hours' riding on Saturday morning.
These are outside the terms of this thread...I've recently stopped using digital and picked up an old school SLR...was getting frustrated with mediocrity of my digital shots...looking forward to using this thing in a big-mountain situation.
These are all just from rides with Nirvana Cycles or in one case Commercial Road car park (best place in London to practice wheelies!) - definitely not big-mountain

what film and filters are you using in those shots jhw? very good.
Posted 6 months ago # -
Nothing much new from me this year... it's been a bit sh!t for various reasons.
Not UK but very awesome big mountain.

Thanks! Lomo redscale film, no filters. If you set it at about ISO 25, it brings out blues and oranges really well (but need lots of light obvs) - if you set it at ISO 200 it looks all red and post-apocalyptic. Fun to play with.

Some suspiciously large-looking UK mountains above!
I haven't taken the camera out much lately but here is a sunny day on Cader Idris last year...

I've never done a 'proper' mountain in the UK. Which I can't quite believe myself. 2012 needs to change that. Multiple times...

Hi Graeme
That looks ace!
I've still to do that ride. Got a moster from Ambleside to Keswick planned that will take a good 12 to 14 hours for the Spring.

Nan Bield right enough. Not used to seeing it from that angle.
Loving all the pics guys.

Sgurr Goath and Carn Ban Mor if I'm not mistaken? Nice pics there fella. Any of the descent of Sgorr Goath? I like how you rode up the main descent path. Far more fun than the landy track the next valley up.

Correct, the path from CBM to Sgor Gaoith is fine, easy riding but not very interesting. The view from Sgor Gaoith is proper braw.
