Spend a day wiring all that Lee and Cragg have to offer and you'll go home wrecked and happy!!!

Cragg needs to be pedalled, pumped and worked like ****…

…enjoy. Paul

Awesome!

Off to see them at Old Trafford in Sept :)))))

Paul

clarkpm – do you have a link to the route you did?

Hi JonT

This one, great on a good day after a long dry spell :))

High Cup Nick and Great Dun Fell

Enjoy!!
Paul

Passed this on the way round a route borrowed from the Boggies. More here

High Cup Nick[/url]

Not too hot, favourable breeze and drought conditions. A wonderful, non-technical big solo :)))

Cheers
Paul

Tell me when this OS or similar is available on a maybe larger, slightly lighter and cheaper iPad and I'll be very interested…

…or clone if one exists?

Am not an Apple geek but do appreciate the UI!! But not the cost!!!

Ta.
Paul

Always open 24/7…

…except when closed by bad weather e.g. last winter.

Been at 8 a.m.

Another Berwyn Bash, 33 miles and 5000ft. Gorgeous countryside.

A few more on that Flickr set[/url]

Am impressed with the images that can be produced from these very compact cameras. Canon ixus series in my case.

Hope to get out more whilst the dryness persists!! :))

Thank you Simon.

Though it does look a bit of a brisk cold northerly tomorrow 🙁

Evening bump…
…ta.

Deepdale?

Cheedale?

3 hours on a bike in the gym following a collision at the Chill Factore Wednesday lunchtime 🙁

Still nowt compared to any heart attack though! Best wishes!!!

P.S. If you are the plonker reading this that barrelled into me from behind, ######## ####### you ###### etc! You get the drift…
…screwed the MTBng planned for my hols next week.

Lee Quarry is here. The Buck Inn is below Cragg Quarry.

I did the 'full' south – north route as suggested by elliptic last year. Excellent day out! :)))

I started at Troutbeck to save my energy for the Ullswater lakeside rockfest and finish on the non-technical grind over Kirkstone when tired.

Cheers
Paul

but they look pretty big and bulky

…but the 661 Slim Knee a.k.a. Kyle Straits don't feel big and bulky.

On my second pair and regularly do 25 – 30 mile rides.

Also protect well as I Supermanned after my front wheel decided to Pringle 🙂

I'd edit it a bit tighter

Hi Chris

One of the reasons it caught my attention was that is edited in a chilled fashion. Contrasts with many vids you see.

I also want to be able to ride Lee Q like that one day!

Cheers
Paul

P.S. Your vids are brilliant, of course … 🙂

Hi

I took the route eastwards over Bwlch Maen Gwynedd to Llandrillo as I thought it would be dry after this long dry spell we've been having. It was!

Have done a ride taking in 'the bog' previously, it must never dry out!

Cheers Paul

Are these times including JJ's Jumps?

Get over to Cragg Quarry then, very different, much more flow.

Aye, Cragg Quarry is brilliant and has lots of flow…

…you have to pedal though! ;))

Hi Rorschah or ANO Berwyn MTBer who may be able to answer this..!

Looking at various options of riding to and from the Llangollen Valley.

Do you know how these bridleways are as descents??

Cheers Paul

One

Three

Hi All

A great area indeed! Started at Llandrillo and went eastwards over the Wayfarer. The return leg via Bwlch Maen Gwynedd was a bit of a slog!!

Hope to meet ANO MTBer next time!

Cheers
Paul

Yes! Thanks to whoever put the initial 'heads up' on here. At least 4 in the Dean Row store yesterday morning.

Part of my son's 21st stuff, as he's wanted one since he was about 13 ;))

Looks reasonably sound.

Cheers
Paul

Few months ago took an old work colleague (roadie) for a 3 hour workout around Llandegla. Took him days to recover…

…now he gets his revenge as a follow him up the Cat & Fiddle climb and other roadie treats in the Peak.

Only have my Stumpy (suspension will lock out) and have put skinny road tyres on it. It (I) will look ridiculous!!!!!

Now that *has* put me off my sausage butty!!!!!!!

Penmachno – whole 30k…

…and please put some cash in the honesty box by the gate at the start 😉

It is great!!

Sat – Solo, Marple into an extended Hayfield Orbital, just under 30 miles.
Sun – Hayfield 3/4 orbital with GF, just under 15 miles.

Very, very dry and sandy 🙂 Also, not too hot 🙂

Gisburn Blue starting at the Dog and Partridge at Tosside…(??spellings)

ride with the boggies are you kidding we have met that man Barnes you know

Just joining one of the routes they have documented on the website, not one of their rides 🙂 You're welcome to come along.

FYI, am planning on riding out from Roman Lakes, Marple about 08:30 – 09:00ish Saturday morning to link up with the Boggies Hayfield Orbital route. About 25 miles, 4 hours (less or more…).

🙂

if your going from the edenfield side you could also use fecit brow as an up , or [ better still ] down to vary it up at tad

Thanks for the heads up on this when we met at the inaugural ride. Rode up last night from Shuttleworth, past the Fisherman's Retreat and up Fecit 'Brew'. Very nice ascent followed by a cracking bit of track down past Waugh's Well. Four laps of Cragg and then down along Sand Beds Lane (path) to Edenfield.

Perfect weather, clearing to a crisp blue, blue sky. On top of the world and almost on my doorstep :))))

linky of Cross Fell route. Have it on my ToDo list, wimped out on a solo last year. DJ has more info on routes over that way.

Cheers.

Brilliant stuff!!

Just need to find a similar trail at my standard 🙂

Thanks to the organisers! Was great to meet a few STWers on the hill.

It is a cracking venue to get a workout and some flow. Mainly the former in my case!

Hope to meet up again…
…cheers Paul
2010 Silver Stumpy.

Take crank off bike.

Clamp in the biggest ffin vice you can get access to.

Strong spanner and 1 metre tommy bar.

Blow torch crank and…

…give it some!!!

😀

Am still expecting to join in from the pub car park.

If I can get my a** out of bed early enough I'll have dabble at Lee Q before…
…maybe.

Cheers
Paul

Just done Marple Roman Lakes to Edale via a few climbs, Jacobs LadderN up Mam Tor,
Rushop etc. Lost some blood on the way. A tour near Buxton on Sunday 🙂

I appear twice zoooming past the camera 🙂

Not sure about the best though…
…but definitely good enough for me to keep going back.

Cheers

P.S. No autographs…

is there a viable route from lee quarry?

Might be more viable going across/down from Cragg to Lee and back to car along the road…

…I did try this last week and quickly ended up axle deep on what looked a good dry bit so rode down Rooley Moor Road and back instead 😉
Paul

@Bunnyhop

That looks great! But it was for this weekend and they are not available until 8th May 🙁

I'll keep on looking, ta.
Paul

Hope to tag along and see how it should be ridden! 😉

Cheers Paul
