If you fancy making a little video edit by yourself make sure you don't leave your camera alone for too long. And if any walkers pass you on their way down the hill save them from guessing and let them know what you're doing.
Very funny. Wave man is the best.
😀
🙂
Love the way one bloke smiles and waves! 😆
There's also what appears to be a right bad wig on one of 'em as well.
😆
the 5th guy looked like he has been made to look old with film makeup stuff and how small was the guy with the red rucksack?
Proper 😀
I like that - MTB vid with a difference 🙂 Needs a snappier edit though and to be scattered through a longer biking vid.
Actually I think the conclusion is do leave your camera somewhere a big group of ramblers will come across it!
Excellent that! 😀
😀
More interesting than most bike videos.
🙂 very good
I don't like to pigeon hole oldie ramblers, but wonder if all their comments/moods would have been so upbeat if they'd known it was owned by a MTBer as they passed under it. Just wondering like.
Brilliant, love 'wave man'
VOD, oops sorry it's not Pinkbike!
Quite nice to know they weren't tutting or judging when they realised what was happening. I think Ramblers are often portrayed as some kind of masonic or gestapo type setup that scorns the rest of the world.
😆 wave guy is awesome.
Brilliant! Love the man waving 😆

As with any group, 90% are fine, will smile and chat. It's the 10% who are the stern faced, moaning ****ers who I really struggle with ... get them off my ****ing hills!!!!
I think aviator man was tempted to half inch it.
How many did you take out on the last pass 'off camera' ?? 😉
haha I thought that schrick!
I have to say this is the best and funniest mtb clip I've seen on the internet!
love it!
You should put it on pinkbike, probably get VOD!
😆 quality!, +1 wave man 😀
It will have given them a topic of conversation for the next 15mins or so. grtdkads 10% will have had a good opportunity to moan about something or other. Everyone goes away happy, particularly wavy man.
Loved it Looked like the Antiqued Walking Show
Now i know why most of the trails are messed up with those
guys digging there heels and poles into the ground.
FAB loved the last but 1 but guy
Oh go on wave

Proper LOL!
It reminds us of a Creature Comforts clip...
Hahahaha, very funny!
Happy walkers. Where did you find them.?
Is the last chap Sarkozy?
Brilliant... and I am thanking my lucky stars I dont have to sit through a Go-Pro HD Red Sock Ascent of Helvellyn... the drama would be edge of the seat stuff...
Aviator man defo wanted your Gopro mate. Haha brilliant
At least they didn't nick it.
I know exactly where that shot is. How sad am I?
Brilliant, the guy on the bike didn't even notice it!.....
😉
"Best leave it there"
I am left wonderign if it had been a similar size group of under 20's whether one of them would have had a look round and pocketed the thing.
*realises he's getting old and judgemental - old = honest, young = thief*
Beautiful in the wild aren't they.
I was also fairly pleased to see that they didn't seem to be cross in any way when they realised what you were doing. Seemed quite amenable towards the 'reckless' MTBer.
I don't want to pigeonhole ramblers either.. Generally speaking I've only ever had positive encounters with them.. but do they have to fail some kind of basic physical vitality test before they are issued with their boots, socks and poles..?
It's really good to see a herd of the creatures responding without panic to outside stimulus in their natural environment like that though..
Their graceful descent of the rooty slope was a thing of beauty to observe.. and it's almost like their chittering calls are a kind of language..
extraordinary
Great stuff. And just like 99% of the ramblers I've encountered. ie. those that haven't had their view of MTBers tarnished by dicks riding to fast and too close to them!
Sunglasses bloke was definitely considering nicking the camera 🙂
Fairly play though you can see how steep the hill is by how they descend it. Doesn't look that steep with the OP riding it.
Now i know why most of the trails are messed up with those

Yeah, that'll be it.

You miserable git. Why not appreciate that they're out there even though it doesn't seem all that easy for some of them?

yeah.. it was a mean observation.. 😳
the erosion thing is correct though..
hmm, it pains me to say this, but is it possible, even just a tiny bit, that you're riding too quickly on a shared path?
a path that's used by wobbly old people...
i'll get my coat.
no, don't get up, i'll see myself out.
That's a piece of video perfection right there. The timing of everything is spot on, yet completely accidental. I'm pissing myself laughing in the office and no one quite understands why.. 😆
Brilliant
"Oldies out walking shocker"
Proper LOL, you've gotta love em', tea shoppe close by?
'Oldies'. At their age I hope I am out and about like that enjoying nature. On a bike or not. Fair play to them
LOL quality

A happy group too, wish there were more like that about 😉
Perfect candid camera. They're all so sweet, genuinely curious too. Hope I'm that active and good natured at their age.
"I wonder if it's been put there to catch trespassers like us!"
Did you catch that line 🙂
Ha ha wow wasn't expecting this many replies. to answer a few questions:
no walkers were hurt in my final bash at it I made sure they were all well down the track. they asked if i wanted to get past but i declined. We then had a good laugh about how the footage would turn out, didn't think it'd be as good as it was though!
I'd said hello to them all 15-20m up the track and was very polite as they went past - i don't want to give mtbers any worse a name!
T could see them all looking at the camera and made sure none moved it.
ahwiles - yeah i was going as fast as possible on that bit but i could see down the trail etc.
Yeah you can see the OP waiting nicely at the top - good show. Giving way and being courteous really helps, people don't then feel animosity when you subsequently tear off down the now empty trail because they've seen that you can be nice and are considering their feelings.
old people make me chuckle
(tis why i spend so much time on here)
Brilliant!
The second I saw that video it reminded me of this
😆
Most I've laughed in a while
People are funny

Excellent.
Shame we didn't see any of them pointing at a plane.
Bloody CCTV is everywhere now, even in the woods.
edit - play the sound from the ramblers over the chimps clips - hilarious.
haha good idea captJon!
love it
I just did a bit of a Walker chimp remix!
PMSL at both videos but Greeble's remake is totally spot on!
+1
how delightfully enjoyable
*doffs cap*
I thank you 😀
I couldn't resist
Top Walkers video. genius!!
Nice work greeble.
That really is spot on Greeble (good idea captain)
Greeble - nice one - we can split the royalties when this becomes a world wide sensation.
Tchh, kids today.........
Like both versions 🙂
Great stuff 🙂 Particularly enjoyed the bloke having the internal monologue about taking it being in sync with the chimp actually attempting it 😆
dirtbiker 100 - I know you are a very polite chap, so I'm guessing you had put them all in a good mood.
Great video 🙂
Brilliant!
Awesome!
Pure golden oldie gold.
Awesome. Deserves a link on the front page.
Greeble - That is pure magic!
thanks for the comments guys glad you all liked it
Very funny. Seem like a nice bunch, picking off some techy walking trails too.
And a good bit of riding too.
Some IP camera can be controlled remotely from an iPhone with TWO way audio. This would allow you to chat to the ramblers... "hello I am John craven and you are now on country file".
Superb 😆 ...both the original vid and Greeble's vid. A reminder of what makes STW great imo.
Oh I love that! Seeing greeble's after both the others had me near wetting myself. 🙂
