All the ‘fairies’ work appears official looking…..in that I can’t imagine you can sneak that amount of raw material into a wooded area….

Anyhoos, most sensible stay away went areas are muddy as you only ruining it for yourself when it does dry out….

Used to go a fair bit but it does turn into a bogfest very easily….

…..last time we went it was great though…..seems that trail fairies have been busy with DH tracks / jumps….

This plus Crich across the A6 make a great half day…..

andyl – are the superstar rims made by stans though??

Oh yes andyl…..doh…..

Just falling for the marketing gumph really…..

You must have a different weather website to me…..Sunday looks cloudy and drizzly in Peaks area….

this is about to get interesting……

Or buy one of these:

Thanks btw. 🙂

Cool – google did not give me that result!!!

Will be popping to Hope on the way back from work tomorrow….

🙂

Hmm – yep they look OK.

Pricey though….

email sent as not skilled to past in here – not sure how to 🙂

German customer service is ‘interesting’ to say the least….

…..they will see a two week wait as mandatory…..

OK – will consider that.

Is Airwave a CRC own label ‘brand’??

Moon – will look at that too…..just seen another thread on that site 🙂

Ta….

Hels – will look at that….previous advice on here was Dalbeattie for the Friday afternoon (will arrive at lunchtime – prompt)

Could be Dalbeattie to fill a day then??

Yeah – seen loads that are out of range – some great looking Cube bikes….. 🙁

Looking to buy complete really…….not enough talent….thanks though 🙂

Not that plush and £20 are often seen in the same sentence….

Okidoki.

So Scotland is the venue then…..I wanted to go there anyway so thats a winner.

Thoughts on accommodation??

Cheap shell of wigwammy type thing at £10 each per night OR a bit plusher jobby at £20 per night??

Anyone got any recommendations / good experiences / places to avoid type advice?

Ta…..

Without me having to google scottish geography…..could you do all 4 of those??

Ah – top tips thanks….yep coming up from Matlock….. (or across depending on thoughts vs a welsh trip)

So on one hand it is ride within your limits….and the other is ‘mincers’ walking / not going as fast as us…

Perhaps they were on a first run and doing a reccy – – look before you leap surely??

Great – thanks for the help.

I am off on Sat 28th…..it is a family holiday but will deffo strap the bike to the back and try to explore for a couple of days…..

Few miles to go on a long run/ace….

Repeatedly to oneself…..”any c**t can run 3 miles”

Eat the honey from local bees……

I used to spend hours playing Bombjack…..that one in 3D erm..Heads & Tails??

Loved Jetpac….but that’s already had a mention….

You could go way back to ZX81 and go Jumping Jack…..

oooh I balls-ed that link up doing the same that I was doing yesterday and it worked…..anyhoos…..google ‘gns5870’

enjoy

So, I have an iTouch and chose the above as a bluetooth gps device…..works great tucked into one of the small inside pockets on the camelbak……battery life is very good and often lasts 2-3 rides……

Magellan was expensive and poor customer service when I asked a compatibility question….

There was a PF race in Matlock Park a few months ago…..was quite a spectacle!!

I guess I could try link these up if I can find an OS Map?

Monksie – do you have a gpx file or anything to help with your recommendation please??

Google is not helping much…..

Monksie – cheers, will check out Goyt Valley…..had been meaning to try that area anyway….

Piston – cheers

Cruz – in the through the nose, out through the mouth….and relax….better??

That much I figure…..

….the opinions sought were more of a ‘if you wanted a dayer would this be as good as anything else’ kind of thing…..

Sherwood ‘is what it is’…

Ride it as fast as you can and secure your reward…..

Dunt get that boggy (other than tight wooded sections)
