    I am glad I watched. I am not ready for that yet. I have only done 3 days off road in my life - riding 55 years. I shall stick with some easier tracks first!
    Question: why do people park their bikes, themselves or their helmets right where a fellow wants to put his wheels? Surely you would park out of the way and either sit or leave your stuff off the track to the side to leave the way clear? (Rocky platform section where the 701 has to stop to avoid a chap sitting and his helmet).

  • @ukwes36

    It was great fun (I was on the 701), we did the whole Welsh TET from Tinten Abbey to Wrexham. This day we started with Bastard Lane and then enjoyed Happy Valley. Riding with full camping gear certainly adds a degree of difficulty, but well worth it

      It works both ways though 🤷 plus one lad crushed his foot so had no choice but just sit and watch, maybe not the best spot he picked for that but i dont think he cared much at that time 😂 plus i agree, "dont stop, dont block, keep going" approach works well, but only when everyone has a bit of experience, and that wasnt the case in our group 😉👍
