In awe of some the pics on this thread. Simply amazing.
Obviously the only reason I have none is because I travel so much faster than you all, in Gnar zone 9. 🙂
You're right; there are some excellent pics there. Really outstanding, but that's what happens if you make the effort to get out into wild places.
Probably my favourite is Druidh's sunset shot, sublime, well done!

from monday evening, my daughter lily
Some lovely photos in this thread.
[b]bigdugsbaws[/b] P1000580 - Great picture! Looks like the rider to the right is either just getting on, or fighting to keep on the bike with his leg out.

Awesome pics. Blue skies here in N. Wales so, inspired by this thread, work can wait for a couple of hours.
Snow biking.

Great to see people putting the mountain part into mountain-biking
Riding up and down Snowdon made me realise how much more fun natural riding is than trail centres. I get the same feeling whenever I ride at the Long Mynd. Unfortunately I live in the East Midlands so can't regularly ride good natural stuff.

At this rate we could knock up a mighty fine STW forum calendar for next year. If its good enough for winterhighland its worth ripping off.
I like that idea... I'd buy one
I like that idea... I'd buy one
Think a few people would. The winterhighland one works on the rough principle of people submit images via a forum thread and they get voted on. I just like the idea of a natural riding by normal people calendar - no huck just hills.
Couldn't be that hard to do with the surfeit of online printy places out there. Could even make a book with blurb or summink...

MRanger156 where are your pics from? The reservoir looks a bit like the one at Arrochar...

What cameras are people using? Any recommendations for a good,tough compact that goes from off to reasy to shoot very quickly?
Living by the coast my most common XC trail is the following:

And when I can get there:

I hope these images work
Its a shame I have none with the sun out
+1 on what cameras you guys use
Lovel wideangle shot there buzz.
Mattamomo - is that Golden Cap in the distance in your first shot? +2 for the camera query.
Yes I believe it MAY be in the distance, all though I am not 100%, sometimes I ride from Seaton and just see where I end up along the coast, that was about 15-20 miles along the coast from Seaton so it would make sense.
P.S if you want a work out, then that route will have you begging for a ride home, its harder knowing there is no way to be picked up along the way :/

Not riding but the view from my bedroom window yesterday morning.
Sambob- I want your room, where abouts you live?
Near Whaley Bridge, on the edge of the Peak District 😀
Can't find a summer picture, but this is from just up the road, hard to beat...
