Day 5 and an unexpected final day to our original planned 6 day trip, but not for any bad reason I might add. Both Russ and I were (fortunately) awake early, 6:30am, before our set alarm at 7am, and Russ having checked the Met weather report he said rain was due at 07:30 so we packed up the tents and loaded u...

Day 4 started nice an early as we like, set off by 8:10am with another full days riding ahead of us. We set off heading due south towards Barmouth on the coastal road. No more than 10mins into the ride and we reached Harlech where a historic castle stands overlooking the bay. A quick pic and a gentle throt...

(We've decided to pitch back up at the same campsite in Penrhyndeudraeth after our loop today) It was very much a day of two halves. Let me explain...... We were packed up and ready for th...
Well what a cracking ride day two of our Wales adventure was; Hay-on-Wye - Bullith Wells - Rhayader - Llanidloes - Machynlleth - Bala and finally camped up at Penrhyndeudraeth. 180 miles in total. The day started early (for me) at 5:30 when I woke and couldn't get back to sleep so I fired up the jetboil a...
Monday 14th Aug 2023 So the day started at home with some very heavy rain but we had a delayed start to the trip due to me having a visit from the city council tree inspectors which I didn't want to defer. By the time they'd left the rain had passed (great timing) so we set off. We stayed on the M5 all the way to...
Hi Was just going to do my first forum post to report a tree down and I noticed that the reports seem to be in various forum areas General Discussion , ROW, Lane clearing, Run reports etc Is there a correct Process and Forum area for posting ? Plus I see that there is an out of date collated list as a sticky pos...
Small tree down today on Back Lane - Yettington to Colaton Raleigh. We have worked it down the bank a bit but didn't have a saw with us to do the job properly. Rideable, especially if someone stands on one end to bend it down a bit. I hope to pop back with a hand saw in a couple of days to cut the remaining roots a...

Found this one in amongst my TTR indicators. It certainly isn't a TTR indicator unit. Anyone recognise it please? The lens is a Stanley 0233 and I think the indicator unit itself is from a Honda looking at Google images but can't see the mount anywhere. If it fits your bike its foc, collection from Exton...

After my ride with Doug around Tiverton was cancelled, I met Vic and Phil who had driven down to Ashburton, and we did a few hours to Totnes, with a nice lunch stop and then back, a couple of light showers but nothing heavy, and took the old CRF out for the first time in over a year, your right Andy Benney love...
To the south of Newton Poppleford there is a UCR off Dotton Lane that crosses the river. On the Eastern side of the river going into Ashtree Farm there is a padlocked gate across the UCR, is it worth reporting this to the authorities?
So just 2 of us went out on Saturday morning for a ride I decided to try 181-049 after walking the majority of the lane with the dog. All apart from one bit where I thought I could see the bottom of the deep bit at southern end of river. But after deciding that I would just give it a go not caring about getting we...
