sorry was looking for the arrow :doh:

 

Brilliant but of road, if u where able to learn it, it would be amazing

 

Yeah to me who had never ridden it before it was; blind crest; blind bend, blind crest, blind bend, pothole, nice corner, blind crest.

Still fun though

 

How do i make it play? Cluck on pick just go's to photo bucket

 

Changed it to a you tube link

 

Great footage but very pixely Chris?

 

im ordering the sun,for my next weekend off(27/28) you have to take us again chris

 

If you want another good Dales road, head north from Devils skip Sedburgh and go up Kirby Stephen, Brough, across the moors to Middleton in Teesdale, awesome bit of road up to Alston, then a bit more onto Hartside Cafe... Then a bimble back down through the lakes... I'll sort it for a nice sunny day...

And if people are wanting a good long day then Kielder is achievable (from Preston ), but you can't be doing much stopping and its best to throw in a bit of motorway to get it done...

 

some old vids from the same area (legal speeds) on a lovely sunny day - see if you recognise anyone!

*no laws wer broken in the making of these vids!
*note - the cam is on the right hand side of the bike, so some of the close ones are not actually that close lol - looks hairy though!

unfortunately someone binned on this one, but not badly

some good jumps on this one

bentham - long vid, but some awesome bits of road. one of my favourite routes, goes near enough from lancaster to settle.
*2nd thoughts, that one's by pm only :whistle:

 

read as Jump, schhhhhh, Jump, schhhhhh, ooooft, schhhhhh, jump

just be careful if you dont know the road well as right after some jumps are very sharp turns / bridges etc! can very easily catch you out
in fact in the last vid there's a highly amusing bit where someone didnt know there was a jump ahead and got flat nads :lol:.

 

Yeah, but we can still tell it was you I dived underneath at 8:44. LOL

 

The camera stores two files, that one was 500 mb. The other was over 2gb so I uploaded the smaller one

 

Upload the big one then you can see me riding slowly in clear, high definition

 

http://www.vimeo.com is better for big files

 

Martin, that first vid was Hawes to Sedbergh, we did that route then to Devils Bridge. And yeah, cracking road
