**Status:** Online

Providing the sky doesnt fall on my head, get swallowed up by the earth or kidnapped by goblins will give you a hand sunday anything I need to bring to make life easier

best forget the bit about being swallowed up by the earth, went and had a look at Hell Lane north of Chideok, its closed the hole could swallow an articulated lorry with room to spare

we got the chance to ride hell lane earlier this year before it was tro'd on a run with the dorset trf.

the bombhole was interesting as we were going up hill and the tree accross the bottom of the lane was very interesting as well

the approach to the tree

the tree

no pics of the hole i'm afraid.as i was busy helping another pasty munching member through it before he blew a gasket ............

Had to laugh at the little Jack Russell plastered in mud. Also when we went to look at the cleared fallen tree, Gaschef started losing the bag on the back of his bike. Steve PT beeped to warn him & we all stopped. Next thing, there was another beep from behind, it was a 4X4. We got going & went through the gap in the tree. I don't think it was big enough for a 4X4 because he didn't follow us through to the end.

**Posts:** 1077

Yes it did go through the gap thank you biggrin

and it was heavier at the other end biggrin
