Is the section at torr castle logged off?
The new section looked like a land slide riding around the left hand of the old section. The walkers path is quite a good rooty descent, starts on the right just opposite the dragons tail

 

[weescott]

The old section was logged off. The new section going down is just loose earth with some roots. W.I.P I guess.

 

[Torch [P4]]

yeah it was the old section i busted my collar bone on, sliding on the roots
the new section isnt without its flaws either, when i was last there you could barely get round without sliding down
wish id known you were heading out, I would have joined you

Rode The Gulley Monster twice since Ive been living nearby, fun flowing trail, I like it, I found the other trail, The Haggis a bit boring though.

Nearly had a fight whilst out MTBing in The Clwyds on Saturday.

Grinding up a tarmac climb I shuffled onto the verge to let a car from behind. Turned out to be a 4x4 with a heavily loaded trailer of logs. He stopped at the top of the climb and started gobbing off to the guys who were already there about how hacked off he was with cyclists and that one of us would go under his trailer at some point.

We encouraged him to calm down but after driving off and stopping a couple of times, he stopped and got out.

Once he realised it was him verses 7 blokes and 2 ladies, he jumped back in and made a sharp exit.

The Morray Monster Trails are not really trails. It's more like 1 long trail with lots of sections which you can leave out if you wan't. The Soup Dragon is fun. The Haggis is just part of the link for the Mast Blast.

didn't even know this event was on and i live in bordon and ride the track regularly,but tbh i'm not into events yet maybe next year.

Not very often you hear Bordon crop up in any kind of conversation, I'm originally from there, used to be some great BMX riding over the tank tracks when I was a kid.

You're more likely to get hit by a car with all that as the driver will be blinded LOL....

 

[SDK^]

Those light reflectors are ridiculous. You're definitely covered from the side view - Do you have any coverage from the front and back?

 

[remy87]

Front I have a Fenix ld10 strobing also blinding drivers I guess and a cateye
Behind I have cateye and mars 3.0 on the bike and my bag. I need to buy som 3m scotch and tape up my bag.
The picture made it look that bright cuz of flash on my camera otherwise. It looks like this.

Crap on my phone can't resize sorry

 

[petriodet]

don't you think it's a bit over the top?

 

[remy87]

**** man they are gonna see Me wether i blind them or not. Atleast they slow down if they see something odd. No excuse "I didn't see you mate"

 

[mistercrabb]

Just got a new Helmet/Chest cam and tested it on one of the local DH runs.
Sorry for the shakiness, Gracia/Lopes impersonation and the rookie soundtrack, I don't really take things seriously.

If you view it on the Youtube website it looks okay at 720p..

 

[Torch [P4]]

looked like fun

 

[shauncr91]

Good camera's aren't they, selling mine atm though since I don't really use it half as much as I thought I would. Anyone interested PM me
