My dad left me the exact same Hazet expandable tool chest that's in the Hunt video, lovely bit of kit.
Those books are on my guidebook shelf. They taught me to plan your own routes, use a map and to smile in adversity.
those books are possibly the main reason i ride mountainbikes.
ticked most of the yorkshire and lakes routes off in the 80's and 90's.
the red pike/high style/high crag route is burned into my brain, in the never repeat area........... ;o)
Thanks for the Amazon link Ben, I’ve snapped up a copy of each, less than £7 for both including delivery!
Was there not a bike shop on Rochdale Rd in Tod, once upon a while?
I'm still sad that Clouds in my Coffee has gone, but the Cheesehouse lives on, and that's what really matters.
I was pretty convinced for a while that Jeremy Ashcroft was a Ramblers sleeper agent.
Also, The graphics on that Trek are not doing it any favours...
The comments on those blue books are spot on. When I started plotting my own routes and riding with others things got better.
I think I still have them but should have given them to charity decades ago.
fond memories of the original Jeremy Ashcroft book, helped me navigate the routes for my first trip to the Yorkshire Dales back in the mid 90's. Still ride some of them last time I was in the UK
While some of the books are full of solid type 2 and type 3 fun, many in the series are now fab for gravel routes.
