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 .

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!
