Del - just thread Surfing if you are still looking at this - but I wanted to say thanks for showing Kelly and I around Haldon in July.
My very random over the bar (in which I thought I had just winded myself) turned into a trip to Casualty. I had actaully forced my sternum inwards sufficiently to give my self some nasty internal brusing - was given loads of drugs - and had to have 10 days off work -and no cycling for three months!
That aside a fun time!
Cheers

Crispy I'm hoping trailmonkey will come out of hiding to guide that one. If not its me and Si. I'll post up in the week, but I'd expect a 10:30 start in Bovey/Yarner area.
I mailed trailmonkey yesterday and he said he was hopefull he'd be able to make it. 🙂
If not i'm sure you guys will also do a great job of guiding. 8)
I'm just looking forward to riding in a new to me area.
Guy - 😯
no problem guiding, i enjoyed, and it was nice to meet you both.
well i hope that big gay bear trailmonkey is out next week. not seen him in ages!
Just had a mail from Trailmonkey saying he's unable to make the saturday ride. 😐
But he's told me that he's organised a guide or two for me anyway 😀
So see you lot at the weekend and we can all talk about TM behind his back while he's not there to defend himself. 😉

Is this still an open invitation?
Not that i'm in charge but i see no reason why it's not.
i'm sure you'd be more than welcome bucko - long time no see
you'll know virtually everyone on the ride anyhow
Mrsssstu is just making a cake as payment to our guides. 😀
Mmmmm cake!
Bucko your more than welcome, see everyone Saturday.

Looking forward to it, not ridden on Dartmoor for a few months. Bring on the summer!
What is the parking situation, can we actually park at the NP HQ?
Still hoping to make this. See you all in the morning, fingers crossed.
A big thank you to everyone that turned out on both days and made us feel welcome.
You guys have some fantastic trails.
We'll be down again for some more of the same.
Any time any of you fancy a ride in mid wales just give us a shout.
sounds like it all went well.

Cool ride today, thanks Stu for letting me join the fun unannounced, thanks Del for guiding and for being my uppy/downy seatpost monitor! Slugwash, would love to know more about the bivvi trips sometime, see you all around, cheers, Paul.
Glad you guys enjoyed it and more than happy to help show you round, especially when there was cake like that up there as payment!
I'll be sure to give you a shout for some three riding next time I'm visiting the WM.
We rode this trail too.
Would love to know where that trail from the video is! Gotta put the part time masters study to one side for a Saturday, leave the confines of Buckfastleigh and come ride with you East Dartmoor guys soon!
I was behind you and yet I barely recognized that on film Stu, for a minute I was envious!! Makes it look quite open.
Hope you had a good one 🙂
Makes it look quite open.
Makes the steep bit look flat too.
Hope you had a good one
We had a fantastic time thanks. 😀
A pointer to the start of that trail
in the vid would be good! 😉
Ridden hound tor lustliegh north
bovey area a lot recently, am i warm!
thanks to Si and Burchy for guiding. i was merely advisor, cake critic, general hanger-on, and heckler. 🙂
good fun chaps.
see some of you again soon i'm sure.
germinator - just come on a ride some time is probably easiest and more sociable.
Cheers del once the 5 spot is
offroad worthy will do.
If anyone is about from April 7th -April 14th as I'm holidaying in Lustliegh for a week and am up for a few rides .. 😆
Del you forgot to mention that you were also there to test that the ground was still there. With your head. 😀
*waves*
I need to sort myself out for one of these one day.

Steep bit? You must be mistaken, definitely nothing steep. 🙂
I could have sworn there was a steep bit in there down through the rocks. 🙂
Any of you guys got gps file of where you went??
I have but you'd be better off asking the lads to show you round.
They're a great bunch to ride with.
I'm gutted I missed it. Had a visit from the in-laws instead 🙁
it's taken a couple of views to work out which trail that is in the video.
and yes you're right sss, it's reasonably steep at the top bit through the rocks but the camera flattens it right out.
Ok it is quite steep, that should have been a 😉 not a 🙂
