Just shows how hard the SSDT is, Ross is a competent rider but out of his depth in episode 1!

The moors and track riding between sections looks fantastic although can't say the same for the sections, extreme to say the least.

They were lucky with the weather on Day 1, guessing it would be a different story on a blustery wet day!

Didn't realise just how tough this event is until watching this, really looking forward to seeing the next two episodes!

This event is incredibly tough, 6 days of unremitting extreme riding !! To think that Dougie only lost 1 mark for the entire 2017 event is truly unbelievable !!

I have observed at the event on several occasions and having taken a bike with me was posted to some far flung sections around the back of Ben Nevis only accessible by bike or 4x4 on one of the huge private estates, normally out of bounds to the public. just riding to the sections is awesome and challenging and that's without having to ride the actual sections, which, to the average rider is the stuff of your very, very worst nightmare.

It's always held in the 1st week in May and the weather we experienced in different years went from a heat wave to torrential rain mixed with blizzards, you never know ???

The organising club is always looking for observers and they offer subsidised full board hotel accommodation at event HQ, free fuel, etc.  I thoroughly recommend the experience biggrinbiggrin

been watching this too, if you don't have Dave on your TV you can watch it on their online catchup service at UKTV play, you need to sign up but its free

Watching those episode its incredible to think Dougie got a single mark in some 180 sections, he must have been peeved!

Only just got round to watching this. WOW, what an event! Amazing scenery and riding. Would love to have a go at that given half a chance. Seems they had ideal weather for it but given Deci's comments - that it runs irrespective of weather conditions - I wouldn't fancy it if it was bleak and dreary. Six days with weather like that combined with all that riding and the sections would be a killer. Dougie Lampkin - winner with only ONE foot down over the whole event ...... now that's talent.

 I was up there in 2017 and the weather was exceptional, usually it's wet/snow/hail and wind

 

Yep it runs, whatever the weather and Doug's in a class of one - especially he only rides competitively twice a year now
