Rode this (BOAT), route this morning - much tougher n longer than Grasshill - over the top 

 

Google earth link to the start & the best side to begin from -Open the gate and you're away

Camera smooths out the reality of the track.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part 1 1/2 King of the stall - Youtube  https://www.youtube....h?v=VoHeRsa6AL0

 

Part 2 ish Downhill https://youtu.be/WzjQjhLWLdg

 

There are some sump splitters to look out for & the first 1/3 of a mile is really uphill, with a lot of very loose 3/4 brick sized irregular rocks and tight-ish bends (stalled 3 no 4 no more times -not counting -  ho hum), Enjoyed immensely but soaked in sweat from top of my head down to the jewels 

 

Rode back through Hawes and over the Buttertubs, Tan Hill etc.

 

Photos & video later - after tea and cake.

Much Respect
Picture quality is pretty good .
What cameras are you using ?
Are they similar to the one that Fixitsan recommend a short while ago ?

( I've actually bought and fitted a £30 set but I've never downloaded the footage )

The camera is same as the one Fixitsan uses - I bought it after seeing his footage (ooh er) - the SJ4000 gives better results in terms of handling the light levels, but it is bulky on the bars and prone to breakage/theft - redeployed in the car - where the windows are breakable and the camera is ..........you get the idea.

Gravity had us reversing - the stones are that loose. Definitely fived the section.
