A little video from last weekends gatesgarth TRF trail run.
And the Sunday with Young jake on his 1st ever trip. He rode upto the lakes on his own, furthest hes ever been. Riding a little wr125r. Did really well.
EPIC weekend, thanks for the invite and to the ride leaders and TRF for the brew and kitkats.
what an absolutely tremendous weekend of riding and banter that was.
massive thanks to the trf who fed and watered us up gatesgarth and to the ride leaders who'd planned an awesome route.
nibthwaite in the dark was fun :woohoo:
hahaha, what is this gatescarth pass i keep hearing about? :silly: :blink: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Cracking video Nethen1 - had chance to watch it now - especially liked the acrobatics at 2:44.
The deep water at 5:32 was where I waded last year up to my unmentionables and we decided not to tackle it, so it was good to make it this time round.
Good to see the young lad on the 125 give it a go as well. Sign him up to the TRF!
It's probably worth posting Gary's post from the KTM 690 thread here as it was shot on the same trip:
