Fantastic Gilles - not just for the Plain in the snow, but for the sheer class of Herbie Hancock's 'Cantaloupe Island' as your accompanying music.

I was out on my local trails in Suffolk yesterday and today. New snow (the other stuff dates from last Mon/Tues, and developed a crackly crust) only really started falling as I rode today, so I actually had some my best riding since the end of the summer - loadsa grip on a good hard surface, but with a bit of sliding if I wanted to.......

I enjoyed that Gilles and would love to know where it is! 🙂

Agree about the music, it was excellent.

Elaine, just on top of the plain back of Warminster, then Eastleigh Wood near Longleat Forest. I'm happy to swap a trip to Swinley Forest to show you around anytime.

Thanks for that Gilles. Unfortunately I can't ride much these days due to health problems. Apparently a lot of tracks in Swinley have been closed, there's new trails currently being built but it just won't be the same!

Will look forward to some more vids from you. 🙂
