Weestroms somewhere in the Peak District.

Post by Hutchie »

Awesome weather today for a ride, went for a 2 hour ride (myself and Longman from v-strom site) 2 hours somehow became 5 and a half.

Was a cracking day out, here's a nice photo of it....

That's a good question.

Started from M1 J28, went through Glapwell and turned right out across Ault Hucknall Way, then over past Ogston Reservoir, and then on to Brassington, the big track in the photo was somewhere after Brassington. It was really long, and would be good and slippy in the wet, would be a right laugh.

Then we went round and about, found some other nice trails, and an awesome steep rocky downhill that was nice and narrow as well, was great, it just kept going down and round and down.
Ended up coming back through Matlock, Matlock Bath Cromford and up Via Gella for a bacon buttie at the cafe shed thing.
Then back through holloway crich etc to M1 J27

Basically I just turn when I see a bit that looks good, and has the right signs and such, we spend a lot of out time doing sharp stops and u turns :)

We make it up as we go along, never a dull moment that way, we've done great trails, fords and such just by riding around the place as often as possible, and skipping every single main or mainish road.

We barely saw another vehicle for most of that 5 hours odd . Only at Matlock Bath and Cromford and back to M1 obviously, other than that, we coulda been the only 2 folk on the planet most of the time.

That's probably not much help, eh :unsure:

Oh, and Hiya Big Dave. I thought I might see you at the Ullapool ABR do, but I can't make it. My pal Gassoon is going , I told him to look out for you and NumptySpence.
