rubbish conditions, rubbish riding. Oh well.

quality! that made me smile. almost glad that I'm stuck at home with a broken wrist 😕

this was my first proper ride since doing my wrist in. All the carrying did it the world of good!

🙄

Awesome vid that! As I've been riding that area since 1995ish, I know exactly what you went through!!
Those speedy up bits are funny!

He he, I started mtbing round there in around 1990 when I lived in Darlo, give me the Surrey Hills any day of the week over that bleakness!

Chris your right, I appeared to have taken on the form of Hitler at 2:28 😕

V. Good, a mate of mine broke his collarbone going over the bars in one of those bog holes. He hasn't been on a mtb since , he claims he is too tall and light to be anygood at off road [he is a very good roadie]
Everybody who was on the ride has told him it is because he is crap but he won't have it!

Gunnerside gill is quality, best as an out and back though this time of year – the moorland sucked!

Can someone explain where the good bit is for an out and back? Or is it possible to cut across from the east without too much bogtrotting?

gunnerside, up to the top of the gill on the bridleway, back down.

But then I'm no expert as is proven here 😐

Nice & simple, sounds good.
