The first bit strikes me as the most difficult, it's like riding up a boulder field.
that is what i thought, managed to ride most of the climb from the corner to the gate and then onto the final paved bit, I just couldn't see any route through the boulders on the first bit.
Bugger! I'm leading NATS around the 5-dales circuit tomorrow. Better call it off and recommend we do the green route at pines then!
🙄 😕
Evening all.
I've cleared Jacobs Ladder fairly recently. I find that you need plenty of momentum and a Horst Link suspension system in order to keep rolling over the rocks.
Classic STW thread! May I dare to proffer [url= http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=singletrackworld ]this[/url] (again) at this stage. Just saying like.
@bunnyhop when I stop working late on thursdays - othernight are good : )
The peaks are great, it's the weather that can be poo.
Peddling down hill was a struggle that day!
I believe there is another poster on this thread who has cleaned Jacobs ladder recently and it wasn't on a horst link bike
monogramman - I can't see that video for some reason.
Doh! It was on private in my library.
Not much to see tho 😆
Normal service resumed in the Peak today - wind, rain, mud and not a shandyist to be seen.
Trails pretty poor tbh, a lot of rain these past few days I guess.
Garry Lager - we wimped out and are going to go out later if it ever stops blowing a gale and raining.
Nope, no jumps in the Peak - off to a trail centre with you

Oh and if you don't like straightlining loose rocks - try Hagg Farm descent. You get corners and everyfink mixed in with your loose rocks.
Done Jacobs & the Beast on a Kona Lava Dome in the past - all fun. And good luck straightlining the beast unless you are on a full on DH rig - it's 3 minutes of grin inducing tech-fest from start to finish.
There's plenty of singletrack too if you know where to look, as others have said. I get the best of both worlds living at the edge of the White Peak.
Damn those rocks 😉
