Peak District 8th Dec - it's a war zone
Re: Peak District 8th Dec - it's a war zone
I've been out more than twice and I still come off much more than you did mate, keep it up it gets easier the more you do it...actually it doesn't but you are not bothered about it as much I guess. Easier being in a group, more for the moral, last time I went out on some trails kindly given to me by AckAck I was by myself and it just became miserable and depressing trying to negotiate them. Knackering too.olionel wrote:thanks for the vids Gary. Also many thanks to all who came for picking me up every time
Good work, I expect AckAck to have sorted you out with a BBRR sticker, welcome to the group.

It's all about how big it is and how Rough you use it
Whatever you do on your path, do it mindfully.

The journey aimed to challenge the perception of blindness…

Monsal Head... Ahhhhhh..... Havent been up there fer a good few years....
Tho Putwell (Just down the road from Monsal Head) was included fer the Edinburgh Trial again this year...
Strewth... Putwell B Section (The Right hand turn bit after the lane under the bridge), Was composed ov foot square boulders...
I almost made it to the smooth part however "Bounced off" an landed on the wall on the right...
On top of the wall was barbed wire, so when I tried to extract mesel, I was stuck there like I had been velcro'd to the wall....:laugh:
Had to be un-hooked by a couple of Marshals...

There are gates.... The track leads into Putwell B after about a quarter of a mile which is sharp right up hill.... The track then comes out over fields (More gates) and cattle..
Through a farm then Left down to the A6 at Taddington Woods....
Tho it is a "Delicate" Area....
