[Closed] Peak District - Video

Nice vids will, is this Jaccobs on Kinder does it take you down past the old police station / Robin Wood in Baber Booth.

Thanks

It does. Didn't know there was an old police station there 😆

But the way I did it that day meant i was riding away from Barber Booth, towards hayfield

isnt it frustrating that our sport looks so slow on helmet cam type footage? it really flattens out the terrain too, making us all look like sherwood pines pootlers!

tell your mate off for descending sitting down too, thats not what FS is for the lazy git!

Thanks , yes Robin woods is in the old police house. iirc

It does always look slow/flat/easy 😆 Annoying!

He is on a Front sus, On-one.

Interesting stuff about the old Police House.

still shouldnt be sitting down!

nice cavedale vid 😀 is the camera bar mounted, as it always looks faster than helemt mounted does

Yeh fair point, sitting down downhill can only end in pain...

Yup bar mounted. MUCH more secure than helmet mounted.

I didn't know about the old police house either.

Great Videos Will. You make it look so easy. It's even trickier with the walkers on the trail.

Like the Ambergate vids Will - have you got it mapped? I didn't think there was that much riding there.

Think I saw you guys last weekend - grovelled up the climb and chatted at Edale cross with you. Was on the blue and white Kona.

Glad you had a good rest of ride.

Enjoyed those vids, that Cavedale place seems quite popular... seen less folk walking round local town centre on a Saturday afternoon.

I'd title the "Jacob's Ladder descent", the "Edale Cross Descent".

i was walking down that Cavedale route in the peaks with the other half and met a cyclist going up it!!

that would have been a proper challenge!!

Thanks guys! I shall deffinatly be going back down cavedale, when there are no/few walkers there. Be great to get a clear run at it

I havne't sorry. But tbh it;s one of those rides shouldn't be shared on public forum. However what i will say is go up there and have a hunt around. you will find some great trials.

Yeh that was us. You have a good ride?

I'm sure Cavedale was worse than that about 5 years ago when I last rode it, seems like there are less rocks at the top now?

Good rest of ride thanks Will, dropped down to Coldwell clough, over Roych to Rushup, then Mam Tor, Edale, Jaggers and back to Hope.

Cavedale got meddled with a few years ago at the top, all the rock gardens on the flatter upper section got moved to the side, thankfully the bottom bit is still all a bit exciting.

Sounds like a good ride Andrew. The top section of cavedale is just so fast and fun, the bottom section is just cool!
