 Manaton? The temporary ford that was created when the heavy plant was clearing the woods as it couldn't cross the small stone bridge. This was bouldered-up each side of the river to prevent people from trying to cross aww

 The Old Manaton Road, when I started riding there was a ford crossing here next to the bridge. Then it was closed with boulders and we used the bridge.

When they carried out the forestry work they re-opened the ford crossing for the heavy machinery, but closed it, and barbed wired it when they finished the work. We couldn't resist giving it another go.

I reckon that TTR's ford, JT, is Hackpen.

Above one is not that local......

And further still....

Even the mighty CRF230 couldn't cope with being submerged this far.

And not forgetting this drowning which resulted in a very expensive bill due to the hydraulic lock cracking piston and bending conrod smile. Remember not to rev your bike as it submerges confuse

Went out for a good run with Grouty and a few of his possie yesterday - 2 of whom (father and son) were riding a sidecar outfit. Had a moment trying to cross this ford and getting over the blockade at the other side. Note son jumped off and kept dry. Father up to his thighs in the wet stuff smile
