pics of the ride out.

Heck Aaron and Keith, looks more gnarly than Wales. Well done for surviving this one. Wish it was a bit closer for us Southerners.

day out 22 august
 

Thanks for a great day out jonz, Its monday now and ive just about recovered:104: have to do it again in a month or so but miss out the climb up salter fell!!
The bikes nice and shiny again and now shod with a K60 scout on the rear . Read my thread on trying to fit it I will post it soon.

Jacques, you're not wrong mate! it was hard going but that's what made it such good fun.

I dunno if I'll be having another go in the next month. That's dangerously close to my wedding and I've been warned not to be limping up the aisle.

Soon as I get back I'll be fitting a pair of Mitas Army Specials. Then it'll be back to Salter Fell and this time I'll try not to end up under the bike.

Cheers for a top day out Jon! Even if I'd have found these lanes on my own I'd of had no chance of getting through them without all the advice.

No worries guys im glad you enjoyed it, Keith youll be fine next time we do salter fell. Youve had a practice run now and know what too expect ;-)

If i dnt speak too you before Arn have a great wedding bud. :-) and when your trail tires are fitted drop me a message and well get out :-)

Jaques, For you southern guys I could try to put something together in wales if thats more achievable distance?

Thanks for the offer but will have to wait till my suspension is a bit more suited. A bit like a pogo stick when stock. I do feel for Aaron with those road based tires going through those rocks. Must have caused some exciting moments.
