I grew up just a few miles from Dalby and have been riding it since sometime around '93, long before the modern trails were built. Back then it was often axle-deep in mud so I never cease to be grateful to the Forestry Commission and Pace (whose HQ is just a few miles away) for collaborating to build the original trails. Since then it's gone from strength to strength and is great to see how popular it is. I thought your into was spot on. It's not somewhere I'd want to ride every weekend but every time I do ride there I really enjoy myself. It definitely rewards XC fitness and it can be quite a mission trying to set a PB for the whole red route. My favourite part of the red route is the last third of the loop. The single-track is fast and flowy, there are some good downhill sections and the forrest is at its prettiest. Loving the new GoPro but sympathise with your frustrations. I've a 6 Black and recently worked out that the wind mic just doesn't work. Googled it and turns out to be common problem. Another issue: had been working fine for months then just randomly would stop recording after 30s with storage error. Pulled the battery. Did it again. Pulled battery and formatted the card. Did it again. Gave up and bought new memory card that matched the official GoPro list of tested and approved cards and all seems so far. But for how long? Love the videos. Keep up the good work. Hope to bump into you one day out on the trails.
Great comment there nick thanks 😁. I’m very pleased your enjoying watching the videos. It makes all the effort making them worthwhile. And if you ever spot me out. Don’t hesitate to come say hi.
@@TrailFinder Don't worry, I'll be sure to say Hi. 😉 Loving the footage from the new camera. It's definitely delivering on all the features you bought it for.
I was there last weekend on my new bike and totally chickened out of that first double drop off. Loved every metre of it and was running on fumes at the end of it. Class place to ride for fun and fitness.
Another reason I like your GoPro chesty + Max lens view is it also gives a great idea of how you’re managing the bike. Remy Métailler uses this setup - as I’m sure you know - and it’s fascinating to see what he’s up to. I was surprised to hear your sweeping comment about emtbs. I feel sure, looking at your fitness, that you catch people up when it’s busy and politely ride past when it’s not going to interrupt their flow. Just as you did with that young family who you were very kind to. So, I’m certain you don’t have everybody in one pot in your mind. And I’ll not go on too much about about how an emtb has transformed my life, but it has.
Amazing video! Been looking at doing these trails as never ever been. I tend to go to hamsterley with living close by. But after watching this video I’m really tempted to get over and thrash these on the bike!
Thank you soooo much for this video, I absolutely love dalby. I call it mountain bike heaven. It’s got a little bit of everything. O and the off piste stuff is a bottom clincher 😉
Great video of Dalby, one of the best I’ve seen as it summarises the whole route nicely. In my opinion emtb’s have improved the Dalby experience vastly. As a local that has been using Dalby for many years on a regular mtb, you simply get fed up of all the pedalling. EMTB’s have put the fun back into Dalby and made it a pleasure to ride once again. It’s not EMTB’s that are killing the atmosphere, it’s Strava KOM chasers, always has been. If you catch someone up that is slower than you just be polite, ride behind them and overtake either at the end of the section or if they pull over themselves. Simple
@@balemoran3168 they were tutting at me on this ridefor not getting out the way quick enough. Around 12 passed me. They are becoming quite a nuisance in my opinion
Bought an ebike 18 months ago after nearly 3 decades of MTB all over the UK. Age is a bitch. It's the legs that go first. EMTB allows me to enjoy longer back to back rides over consecutive days. Just not realistic for me without. I'm one who 'gets' how much effort is being put in on the uphill sections and am happy to coast behind 'regular' MTBrs. No glory in achieving KOM on an e bike. Just sorry others don't see it the same way.
I've ride dalby for the past 20 years and still enjoy it. The off piste is awesome too if you know where to go 😉 as you said though the e bikes have spoilt it a bit now but still a good day out.
Recently bought a Hardtail Mountain bike and I'm addicted to watching flowy videos this is one of my favorites as it seems like a suitable trail for a newbie like me could probably have loads of fun on this trail. Might have to try visit this place gotta travel from Newcastle
Really enjoyed Dalby last year. Definitely want to go back this year. Preferably on a drier day as it was pissing down last time. When i recorded it last year I noticed a few sections like the Gully where the camera takes a few seconds to adjust to coming out into bright light and yours is the same. I thought i'd messed up the settings but I think its because you're in and out of the woods so much. I'm also having a mare at the minute with the hero 8. Constantly having to take the battery out to reset. Thought it was just me! Great video as always mate, definitely a return trip this year. Glad you included some of those climbs in the vid too :-)
Hi mark. Yeah go pros are a nightmare. My hero 9 is worse. The max not to bad. Only done it a few times. Had a lot of people say they like it when I include the climbs. Thought it would bore people!!
@@TrailFinder I think if you get the balance right it gives a real representation of the trail rather than people expecting just flow. Just the right amount as you have is spot on :-)
Yet another great vid!! It looks great there,the view from your chest cam is great too, Your bike looks great too,bet you love it! I've never been there & looking at some of the comments,it looks like it gets busy, When is best to go? Keep the vids coming 👍
Hi Shaun. Thanks a lot. Go visit anytime. The place is that big you will be totally spread out on the trails. There are lots of overflow carparks. But if you want to get parked near the visitors centre or trail head just get there earlier. Gates open 7:30am
Nice video, the GoPro footage looks great. Dalby is great too, I've been a couple of times now. Still need to build my confidence/skills for posts 18 and 31 (Medusa and Vera-Lynn) as I chicken out and walk the very top bits :/
The good thing about Dalby is you can link up the different trail sections if you don’t want to do the full red as there are loads of different car parks you can start from , we very rarely park at the visitor centre . Also loads of off piste trails to be found .
Going to Dalby in a couple of weeks with some work mates and will be doing the Red route, no doubt. Bit concerned that I'll be on a hardtail without a dropper post looking at this...reckon I'll make do without?
Nice, stable footage very clear, definitely better mounted on the chest, bcpov uses a similar system with clear content. Dalby looks like my perfect trail (being an old fashioned hardtail rider), smooth, fast and flowing.
Always had the cam on the helmet but much prefer it on the chest. Dalby is great if you know what to expect when you get there. Full on XC riding at its best
A great watch as always Andy, the GoPro Max footage is really good. I think Dalby is a real divider of opinions, I wasn't keen at all (despite riding it with BKXC and Guy Kesteven - great day but the trails left me a bit non-plussed; not my kind of thing). It would be a dull old World if we all liked the same things though, and your passion for the place shone through in this video 👍
Thanks mate. Yeah Dalby not for everyone. It’s a long gruelling route with not much reward. If I want fun on the bike. Dalby would be bottom of the list for me to visit. I only really enjoy it as a flat out fitness loop. Don’t think it’s a bad thing our ride today was put on hold. Don’t think we would have had a great time in this weather 🌧
Went to dalby at the weekend. Never seen any of these trails.. we found it not very clear.. it’s like they assume you’ve been before and know your way around..shame really coz it’s an hour and half from home..will definitely be going back though.
Brill video as always Andy, really interesting looking place is Dalby forest, I’d like to try it there but as I’m one of those electric mountain bikers I don’t know if it’s a waste of time for me
@@TrailFinder in that case I’ll give it a body swerve, I thought by the statement you made about having to move aside from ebikes that you don’t like them, I have an ebike because of my back and knees, without it I would be screwed for getting out mountain biking so it’s a god send as far as I’m concerned
Love ebikes. Think they are great. I was just meaning they are getting very popular. So on single track trail centres like Dalby I had to pull over quite a lot of times to let them past, as they are just so quick compared to a normal bike. Had a few tut at me for not getting out the way fast enough!
@@TrailFinder that’s fair enough Andy, you see that pisses me off mate, I hate people like that as much as I do those people who say eMTB’ers are cheating, I have diss abilities which can’t be seen so they naturally think I’m old fat and lazy, this couldn’t be further from the truth, alright I’m no spring chicken and I’m certainly not lazy either, I have arthritis of the spine and 30 odd years of heating fitting has buggered up knees that’s why I have an eMTB 👍
Excellent video! Dalby’s great for a fast flowy blast. The last time I was there though I thought they’d tamed some of the best downhill bits and spoilt them a bit. Always good fun though! Did you do the drop into the gully run? Cheers.
Still looks a great ride I wonder if I will ever do it notification hurting myself like I am doing lightly not necessarily on the bike either still watching great content
Great effort on the black climb. Its a bitch. Rode Dalby a couple of months back and had an enormous rock in the gully spit up and strike my shin. Had to call it a day soon after that. Must get myself back
Always like watching your vids. Am I wrong in thinking you came the wrong way back to the car park, as I always assumed it was 1 way and that’s normally the start of the Red route not the end.
Yeah your wrong. The red starts and finishes at the same point. Just 10 metres apart. The start climb runs just underneath the final descent. (A completely different track)
@@TrailFinder You might be the only person in Yorkshire who's ever bought one of those. The rest of us are tighter than a poorly assembled quill stem.
WOW in at number One CYB ! I can hear the old chart music!! Would make a good vid Top Ten UK Rides . Marin Trail is epic you feel like you’re riding of to the wilderness! Stayed in a cottage on that one awesome ! Looking forward to anything other than local!!!
@@TrailFinder just thinking looks by videos its for over 50 who thinks they still got it i will stick with jump line and black trail not pedlling 2hrs black looks scetchy some places will that
Dalby gets criticised on the bike forums for being too easy. The length of the red (22.5 miles), especially when you add the 4 mile world cup XC loop in, means it is a very good place for fitness. The people who slate Dalby are the lazy gits who wants downhills, gap jumps, and bike lifts. Dalby is for the old schooler who goes for fastest times. I thought it was absolutely brilliant and went twice a month, every month, then went to Gisburn, Cannock, or elsewhere in between. If you can do the full red in under 2 hours, you are of a decent fitness level.
Completely agree mate, been 3 times and just can’t bring myself to enjoy torturing myself 😂 it’s probably because I only ever ride wharncliffe so stuff like this I’m just not used to, like trail finder said depends on the person.
looks a really nice xc course pity it`s 120 miles from me. i`d rather do welsh trails if i`m travelling so far. pity tho. comment about e-bikes a fair one. i got an e-bike (best investment ever), but try not to pass anyone on a single track climb as i know it pisses em off. they come into their own up lakes n peaks.
Enjoyed the video however your ebike comment made me wonder if you want all cars banned too ? Reason i say this is we have all expeirienced that dickhead who drives too close or overtakes in a stupid place or impatiently blasts a horn at you , its the same in all parts of life there are always tossers who ruin it for the majority in all walks of life but you wou;ldnt instanty say everything should be banned . I have one and never force my way past anyone thats just rude and im never in a rush anyway , ignore the clowns the majority on ebikes are nothing like them or even better try one ;-)
Ebikes are great. No way would I want them banning. I can’t recall ever saying that in the video. The 12 ebikes that past me before I said what I said bullyied and rushed me out of the way. Tutting at me for holding them up. I don’t think that is cool at all. Every time I do venture into a trail centre. It’s now 90% ebikes compared to normal bikes. So at trail centres normal bikes are forever pulling over to let ebikes through. I don’t mind that. But just show some Dam respect. Like I did when passing that young family later in the video

It's a good 2 hours drive for me but I found a campsite not far away that is less than a tenner a night so when I go I make a weekend of it 🚲 ⛺ 🍻 😁
Have you tryed the blue route on the very last descend I did the the other day for the first time and it's a very good bit to do
Never done it. Looks inviting though. But those last few sections of the red are just to good to miss out

2 and a half hours
Heard the off piste stuff is good but £9 is bit steep
There's an unlimited amount to go at with some very good runs
You can ride in on a Bridleway from Thornton Le Dale though you pay for it with a longer ride
Nail on the head Andy!... expect it to be an XC loop.. not a gnarl fest! thanks for the video!

Ebikes are great. No way would I want them banning. I can’t recall ever saying that in the video. The 12 ebikes that past me before I said what I said bullyied and rushed me out of the way. Tutting at me for holding them up.
I don’t think that is cool at all. Every time I do venture into a trail centre. It’s now 90% ebikes compared to normal bikes. So at trail centres normal bikes are forever pulling over to let ebikes through. I don’t mind that. But just show some Dam respect. Like I did when passing that young family later in the video
