The Findhorn Foundation is 30 miles from me they invented tree hugging and talking to flowers in the 60s . The place is still going strong peace and looove .Part of me identifies as a Hemlock sapling and a thorny bush…but sometimes I’m a tree-hugger.
Wrong forum???

We went to Bikepark Wales yesterday, morning on a 'training' course & after lunch had a quick play before getting home early 
photo of our parking space @ lunch - much cooler than on the trails
mrs on the Orbea & I was on the Trek
got home and pre-washdown inspection showed a casualty
I know its not an expensive damper so not the end of the world but guessing its a few drops of oil passing one of th grubscrews in the top housing - will reserch more and hopefully find exploded-diagrams to understand what they do & wyh theres some oil in the dust

Crawfordsburn, Co Down N Ireland very recently.
See previous posts for the gist.
We had biblical rain overnight so some mud has returned.
A muddy, dusty and very warm grand day out.

yesterday we went for an exploritary womble around Brechfa's 'red' trail (starts in Abergolech
) covering over 12 miles and the weather was hot, some nice climbs and the first trail was in a pine forest that was a little eerie as was silent in there
whereas the other trails had a soundtrack of varying descriptions..
the highest point (fireroad) so celebratory rest & watering.
as you can see, I've not mastered the art of trail photography yet
this afternoon we went for a looksee in an old haunt of mine (Clyne woods) and covered 14 miles, sorry but no photos again BUT we did take a detour for icecream

I crumble in the sun, waited and waited for today's to ease off...... Finally get a green light and we have a bloody thunder and lightning storm 
Made the most of it and nearly avoided the heavy downpour but it followed me and cut my ride short.
Found a new line in the wood that ended with pretty steep drop ( tried to capture the gradient but it's impossible with a GoPro lol )

The Masts above Llandegla, on the way to Worlds End. On the new (to me) Rail 7 Mullet.
Gruezi,
Considering the beautifull countryside you are frequently enjoying and making the rest of eMTB-World jealous I unseriously wonder if there is a rule that you must run minimum 1 hr/pic in Zürich traffic jams to compensate this forum.?
Great rides and pics! I love it!
Merci!

A leg powered weekend on this little beast, but might take the battery powered out for a spin this evening

Absolutely stunning day for a trip up Leckhampton Hill, just me, myself and I.
Little recon ride to look at some trail sections which need some work. Need to re-build these steps and try to make it ride able too .. drops about 4 meters but with only about 1.2 meters of steps length and none of the steps are level in any direction. You can't ride it as if you fall off you'll impale yourself on a stake !
I love this oak :

Nice colour. Not done much cycling in Aberfeldy area passed through it plenty of times when Munro bagging . Need to check it out next time.
2nd place was Sölden. Nice views and trails
A bit of a pootle around Sherwood Pines, but mostly across the old rail bed into Coal Board land. I was looking for some new bits for an upcoming guided ride. I came across this wreck of a car (yep, It's in there!) How long must it have been there for it to decay to that state?
Back in to Pines territory, I came across a big timber stack. I could not resist a typical pic.
Then I discovered where the timber had come from!
That is at the top of Tornado Alley, and it just clipped the start of the trail. So now we have a new start section! It's actually an improvement, about 20 yards. I know, it looks a sea of devastation, but harvesting the trees is what the Forestry Commission (now Forest England) was set up to do. It will settle down; new trees will be planted and in twenty years you will never know the difference.

While I was pootling across the Coal Board Land, I realised that I was using features that I will call way points to help me navigate. When I've not had time to commit to memory all the turning points it's good to have recognisable features to jog the memory. On a straight bracken lined trail, which one of the many tracks leading off left and right is the one I want? Often the one I want is hidden by foliage depending upon the time of year.
Here are a few of the way points:
That is some kid's lost toy, about 15" across.
How the hell did a kid's bike of that size get all the way out there?
That is a big tyre and again, how the hell did it get there?
I think that is a helium balloon, nice and colourful!.
There is no obvious stump that the log came from, but the local Police use it to train for when they are pursuing illegal motor bike riders. @myapes and I have seen half a dozen of them a few times. As witnessed by the gouges in the log, not all of them make it.
That is a great way point, except it is pointing the wrong way!

WOW!!!!!! That’s going on my short list.
I can only wonder if it was a project. "How far into the woods can we get this stolen motor?" It is certainly not a Landrover with those wheels.
