[Closed] Peaks Pootle Photos

Scrap the video until tomorrow, just spent half an hour editing it for it to get lost whilst saving, I'll do it again tomorrow night!

Some very nice shots there, the off camera flash certainly does a good job. 😯

Ooooo lovely 🙂
You can't tell that the weather was a bit rubbish

nice shots..!

you really caught my gurning pretty side there.. 😆

cheers, another 48hrs and the camera should be dry!
Hopefully get the video sorted tonight! A lot of water on the lens but it looks ok!

who was taking photos of us coming down the rock steps into the stream?

is there on of me riding down there?

Follow the link in the first post.

a Few more soggy pics here... 🙂 (clicky for a few more)

didnt get the camera out much due to the glorious weather.. 😀

bwd, I did but there wasn't any but I do remember the flash going off twice. not fussed, just curious

are the steps horrendous around the corner or.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sheldona/5825798662/

that's my wife, shes not that confident on a wet slippery rock that leads into a stream when there's already a que of people going down it.

sorry shes not hardcore enough. please carry on with your smarmy comments you dick

Thepodge, that was me if the flash went I took the shot, it may have been blurred or something hence it didn't make the cut. Sorry. Maybe next time!
Ref Mrs Podge, it matters not she was walking, she always had a smile that's hardcore enough in those conditions!

Sheldon +1

not a problem tollah, not a problem

are the steps horrendous around the corner or..

yep, they are

as tollah says, just being out yesterday was well 'ardcore enough

Watch out I'll be at sswc with the camera!

I evidently need some pads for walking. Fell over in the garage when I got home cos my feet were still numb, battered my leg and am walking with a limp today...

Just to clarify, podge's wife isn't the fella gurning at the camera, she's the one smiling behind him. Probably laughing at podges seated descending technique I reckon...

Apologies for soaking the camera tollah, my gnarly threeride aura kicked up a veritable tidal wave!

Nicely captured me s****ing at sambobs crash too, busted!

my technique is perfectly good, I don't need to buy my skills with some la-di-da carbon bike unlike some Mr Thomas slowrider Smith.

I do but I can't afford it :o(

are the steps horrendous around the corner

No, but there's a ford at the bottom with a slippery, slightly steppy exit and there was some bloke sat there pointing cameras at people. But clearly you're hardcore enough to come up and ride up them, since they're so not steep, so how about it? Slap-up cake and coffee fest at Rosie's in Hayfield says you can't do it. Winner buys... 😉

Slightly steppy?! They need a bloody handrail. Fun though. I got my front wheel up one. I RULE.

Oh, and nice one of me on the steps too. Normally I crash instantly at the sight of a camera, so a bit of a result really - mind you I'd already splatted further back, ooops... 😐

I bet people would pay to watch BWD's challenge! 🙂

Entry is free, there'll be some Peak Park by-law forbidding dog-bating as a public spectacle or something. I know those steps are rideable going up, and I figure that RoCkeTdOG with his random, jumbled characters should make mincemeat of it, seeing as they're apparently not very steep at all... So come on dOGgY, I'm sure you're not just one of those people who pokes fun at others' riding ability from the safety of your keyboard but won't put your cake money where you mouth is, erm, right? 🙂

FIGHT

FIGHT

Na, just a friendly, bantery, light-hearted challenge with cake at stake... 😉

Thanks yesterday for a good days biking (despite the weather) and also for the loan of the playbus to get changed afterwards. It was my first singletrack pootle and I will definately look forwards to the next one

cake at stake... 😉

World War 3 then? 😛

The steps are rideable going down if you haven't got a traffic jam in front of you. Going up they're a proper challenge, I've got about 2/3rds of the way up. One day I'll clean them.

One day I'll clean them.

You can play too 😉 three-way cake fest? Anyone else?

I can clean them, but then I am a riding dog, sorry; god.

Cheers all for a top day out yesterday.

Oh, and if the cake at stake is one of those Mars Bar cakes that we had after the ride, count me in. They were well nice!!

Looks like a fun day out.

Whereabout are those steps?

It looks so dry in your photos! We got soaked and frozen over in Mac Forest yesterday 🙁

I hope I can make it along to one of rides again before too long 🙂

EDIT: These steps, presumably? http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=403535&y=389452&z=120&sv=403535,389452&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=725&ax=403535&ay=389452&lm=0

Are they all the podge's wife?

Sorry it was a simple question about the steps, the ones visible don't look difficult, sorry for not being able to see around the corner of a photograph. Blimey there are some touchy souls on here

Id love to take up the challenge, but i think I'd have difficulty getting past the massive chip you all seem to be carrying and if i laughed at your shoes you'd probably cry and I'd feel bad

It was dry for about the first 30 mintues, which is when people took photos. Then it pissed it down for three hours... 😀

The steps you can see are actually steeper than they look fwiw. I note that you're a bottler then, all mouth and no climbing trousers...or are you scared of cake? 😉

Did someone mention cake?

Yeah, but you have to clean the steps on Middle Moor going up or you're buying - blue-walled tyres not allowed cost they're cheating.Tempted? Carrot cake or stick... 😛

I've got a video of the steps I'll sort later, I stopped at the bottom though for pics so doesn't show me cleaning the other side!
Then we can all rest and enjoy each others company again 🙂

*pulls up chair*

rocketdog. it wasn't a simple comment was it? it was a snide remark about peoples riding ability.

I don't have a chip on my shoulder but I do have a dislike of people bad mouthing others for no good reason.
