Foggy mountain.

Misty.

Last wk i went for a blast with my mate Gaz, but after viewing my gopro footage

 i was not to happy because i didn't set up the camera properly on my new chest strap

 right and all i had was view of my knees and handlebars.

So today i was determined to re ride part of the route from last wk with a few 

adjustments.

 I could see the fog hanging over the hills as i set off just up from 

Porlock weir through the woods and on to the toll 

road, and then back down into the woods discovering a new 

downhill route, anyway it was a good lap and i feel good now I've had my fix.

Here is the link for the pictures, enjoy!http://youtu.be/JL7oSRBuKcc

With many thanks to Lester Flatt & earl Scruggs for the music titled 

foggy mountain, and used in the film Bonnie and Cyde.

Yee Ha!

Porlock hill wet and windy.

Lovely brekkie.

My friend and Gaz decided it would be a good idea to do a lap of porlock hill , nice one heres another chance to try the gopro again. I thought that i would do a mix of pics with some down hill footage because i bought a new chest stap for it. We parked up at porlock wier and the sky looked dark i was gonna say can we just pay a visit to exmoor cooking co but then realised that i only just had breakfast. Anyway we had a good blast and half way we stopped to check the view Gaz pointed out that as the saying goes, apparently if you can see Wales its gonna rain and if you cant then it already is! Ceck out the stats at strava. http://app.strava.com/rides/15866021. we covered 8.7 miles with 1800 ft of elevation, a pictures of the ride at youtube. http://youtu.be/_ORhTM2nzWA. Not to mention we did finish up at exmoor cooking co cheers!

Gopro at haldon forest park red route.

I recently got myself a new toy! a gopro so that i could record all the action of my rides. So where did i go? A good friend of mine gaz mentioned that haldon forest was the place to go. So early Tuesday morning with the bikes packed into big reggie myself gaz and his no1 son set off for haldon. I have tried to edit some of the c.r.a.p of this VT but you know me and tecnology! so you might have to use the fast forward button. Anyway i hope this dam thing uploads soon coz im getting board, and my mate gaz cant wait to see how good i am on the down hills.http://youtu.be/LK5EjVFLPKw

Part 2 of our epic adventure.



Horner tea gardens for a lovely cuppa.



So here we go for another bash at it! I'm getting to grips with my new toy and in this post there will be 3 videos of the down hills we had on our ride out, still a little more practise needed i know (on the camera work not the riding) but hopefully i will get better as time goes on. I uploaded this picture from my phone so is that why the quality is so crap? We covered 18 miles in total.http://app.strava.com/rides/12635891  Down hill from north Hill to selworhty woods.http://youtu.be/cqcSIm6VytE. This next section from Weber's post to Brockwell.http://youtu.be/tpy6a2ikkCU. The last part we named readers wives simply because we often meet some strange folk in the woodland in some really strange positions with cameras etc. http://youtu.be/XZPuJshAHxg
