Don’t ask where we went as I have no idea! I know my way round on the bike but have no idea where the places are on a map 😉

Pedro bins it at about 20 seconds in and buggers his knee reet up, we just had to carry on though and hospital had to wait until we were done 😉 Enjoy.

Got bored after 2 minutes of skidding 🙄

Sorry Rich, we were under the impression that’s what FS riders were supposed to do 🙄

that’ll be Tintern then

Yes, start/finish in Tintern.

Looks good, but busy!

That’s what happens when you ride with other people RD 🙂

You were riding:
Beacon Hill.
Back of the Narth.
Colonels Park Wood
Botany Bay.
Barbadoes Wood
Whitebrook.

You rode the ‘old road’ (at about 8.27) and the final descent into Tintern is the ‘Rock Road’.

I think the most NW Alpers we’ve had is 5, that was enough, we like to tread lightly and not clog the singletrack 😉

Your mate seems pleased with his skidding, has he just learnt how to do that ?

Cheers Marko!

Allthepies, I think he read how to do it in mbuk.

and on public footpaths

Some of those trails look fantastic. Does anyone know if there are any Singletrack or MBR routes around the Wye Valley or GPS routes online?

Burn them, they are evil inconsiderate riders.

OK in this instance. The long skid is on a section of BW that has been sanitised. It was a fantastic rutted tramline until it was improved to allow disabled access. The leaf mulching is on tarmac, so that’s OK as well.

None available and frankly it’s rubbish. Better to stick to the FoD 😆

Joking aside I’m happy to show anyone around. PM me if you want.

nice trails, though i think your bike has too much front suspension for it, cof overkill cof cof 😛

Pretty funny when your mate is trying to get more blood out his knee so he looks like a hardman, reminds me of the kids/teens we have who come into centre and “facebook” their scratches from the skatepark 😆

Maybe 150mm is too much, but rode it with 80mm last time and didn’t have as much fun on the big rocky decents.

And he’s not getting blood out, he’s putting iodine in ;-0
