Just a quick bump to remind people this is on and ask @ccrdave if he will be attending.

Sorry, I wont't be able to come this time as my financial situation is not compliant with travelling that far at the moment. Did want to come though. :(

Today was eventfull to say the least. Two OTB's and a loopout over the side of a climb didn't end good either. Great ride though and thanks to @Dax for showing us around ??

You must be really into examining that particular piece of mother nature. is there a rare butterfly, a rare species of worm or is it that geocache that you've never found but haunts you. oh how it haunts you, the sleepless nights, the terror that wakes you in cold sweats. or did you just fall off again.

The only squishy thing that would have survived my fall is a flatworm...

Cheers for coming guys, it was great to catch up with @Tunny and @JetSetDemo and nice to ride with @Doomanic again without all the crashing that happened last time :)

We rode a few classic routes and one new line to me. Tunny found the slippy off camber section of mainline:

Regular readers may remember this from last time I rode with Dom:

No real harm done (other than to Tunny) so we carried on and had a go at a steep climb:

Once I fished Tunny out the tree, we kept going, I checked out a new trail which turned out to have a hidden drop on the run in...thanks for saving me kenevo! We then had a bit of an explore and found the top of a newish trail, with a jump on the way. Tunny was back on form and smashed this with his usual style:

Then on the way down it all went wrong, tight downhill right hander, no real berm to drop into:

Luckily @JetSetDemo was on hand to help recover the levo:

@Tunny was bleeding pretty bad from this, so we stopped for a quick bit of first aid, then he decided it was fine and kept going:

We had a gentle ride back up the hill, hit a couple more trails and we were done

All in it was about 2700 ft in 6 runs over 13 miles.
