Sorry I’m on about the tarn lol

Grizedale pike below Helvellyn?

There are bridal ways coming off there.

1 up dollywagons
1 to patterdale
1 to grasmere

I’d go up helvellyn from glenridding, down dollywagons and then down the bridalway to patterdale

excellent video of Grandads, dads and the Dentist.

It’s £4.50 at all times. pay thousands for a push iron then refuse to pay £4.50 for parking 😀

want

emmodd

give me a shout when your going over and i may be able to come and show you around 😀

one of my fave grizedale rides is the following:

start at Visiotr Center

Dads
Grandads
Dentist
Breasty Haws to Great Wood
Devils Gallop

back to VC

new black section for a play
lawson park
riverbed descent

either finish or play on new black section some more.

you can also add Parkamoor to Nibthwaite and the bridal way over to ickenthwaite in that aswell.

you can ride all day in the forest 😀 use the fireroads or bits of the north face to get to the good stuff.

Good to see you kept having a go at clearing it.

i’m in accrington. there is some downhill specific stuff over towards Hurst Green in whalley.

There are a lot of routes around Darwen and Accrington, up on the pennine bridalway.

Tony where are you actually based, is it in Blackburn or surrounding areas?

dirtyboy, how easy is it to disarm?

very good, just registered and paired it up with send latlong for the iphone.

if i get in trouble i can instantly text my lat long and a google maps link 😀

the app also gives me the lat long so i can pass that on if i’m on the phone to them.

good find

The jumps on the b line are not the best, blind hips and of camber landings can make things tricky

Will be muddy but not bad. It’s been dry all day so shoddy be too bad. Bottom of hully gully has been damaged by the rain.

yeah there ok, sintered are a bit noisey and i seem to get rubbing with them. put organic on the front and sintered on the bank and the orgnic are silent, so it must be the pad.

That Cadel Evans video, thats roid rage that is 😀

yep but just because i like to be prepared and you wouldn’t belevive the amount of people that ask if any one has one at the trail head 😀

i have a track pump in the van too 😀

excellent selection of man tools on the wall aswell 😀

Jedi

have you a link to those shoes you wear?

Shimano AM41’s and five tens are not waterproof, both of my pairs have fallen to peices 🙁

Happened to my fox floats too, non driveside like that too

Can you not sleeve it then weld a piece of 1/1.8 tube on? Should make the weld strong?

Grizedale forest

Why is it impossible to extend the steerer?

clarkes allweather kits are good, ive had mine on since last winter with no issues and they are a tenner.

Unions doing ambulance chasing now?

If I don’t go lakes then yes

you may be right but i never really had an issue on Salisbury Plain. there were fun moments of getting on to chinooks next to main roads.

used to love Otterburn, fond memories of playing in the snow up there, Warcop not so much. but we still met loads of people and not once did it ruin anything, which is my point.

It is lebowski, i always had vision of hikers falling into the trenches we built 😀

what do you think soldiers do when on exercise? 2 weeks out on the plain is enough to drive you mad.

We once set up camp in a disused barn about 1/2 mile from a building site, we drove down at night when they had gone home and stole there porta loos 😀 that cheered me up 😀

I wonder if anyone has stumbled into a training ambush? that would be funny.

Dave, seriously mission secific training bimbling up a road? sounds like a standard platton or section movement. anything specific to missions are done miles away from public right of ways and most training at the moment is done in fibua villages.

I used to be an infantry man, ex QLR, served in Bosnia amd Ireland and belive me a few people milling around causes no issues at all. in fact it used to be funny surprising them.

now if they stumbled on in to a live fire area, well thats a bit different.

I doubt a bloke having a laugh on a bike will ruin there training.

Very good, not enough swearing though 🙂

Didn’t Singletrack do I ride guide in te cairngorns not so long ago, I thought that was a Area of outstanding natural beauty? Bit hypocritical don’t you think, also I always though magazines/papers should take a neutral position instead of having a go?

Junkyard

I live in accrington which is pretty near to lee quarry and we have loads of sites purpose built for travellers so they have no excuse in east lancashire.

lol great grips and you put the superstar to the inside. once they have worn you can buy replacement cartridges for 4.99, great value in my book.

the athertons are a top 3 collective and they are a great brand, that alone makes them winners. simple really.

i’ve heard Tracey Moseley is almost in semi retirement?
