Have got a Go Pro for chrimbo, so will hopefully have some nice footage next time we go, although it will probably contain lots of swearing, falling off, and heavy breathing!



That sounds familiar :D :D .

Got a little clip here from one of the harder bits, Steve had to ride the other guy's bike up as it was pretty solid!

Great photos. Weather looked so wet that there were no walkers! Were the waterproof socks Seal Skinz?

The walkers can be great sometimes, we came across a group of early-20 something girls that looked like the cast of Hollyoaks, they held the gates open for us and seemed very excited at the bikes :D

The socks are indeed Seal Skinz, well worth the money but mine are starting to fail now so need a replacement!
