This particular trail consists of the Top part and a Bottom part. The top part was fine, the bottom part is virtually impassable.
So I was quite excited when I saw 5 guys at the top from the commune (council) with all the gear starting to tidy ..
Took them 1.5 hours .. to do what normally takes me 1 hour including tidying (I lived 500m down the road so used to do it).
Thought I'd give it a go again at the end of the ride .. Disaster. The trail is just littered with Gorse and Branches, dangerously so !
Amaziningly - the bottom part, which needed doing - they didn't touch !
Not wanting to seem judgemental .. but MORONS.
Prologo Proxim, made for E-Bikes. Think that one be the sport model,I have the pro which has a hole down the middle.@ZF, what seat is this?

I managed to fly into the ground but the gliders do look like a good hobby, must cost more than ebiking.Para-biking ..did you have a go ?
Sounded like a V8 winch, and the rate of climb was incredible even as a spectator.Ain't no para anything off that winch. That's for the glidey big boys. Although to be fair, the Mynd gets plenty of para this & that. Used to be that distance records would be set form there, as the prevailing wind & controlled airspace downwind are favourable.

What! No warning cones or signs?A long weekend in the Shropshire Hills.
The wire in the picture isn't a trip wire, it's the winch cable for the local gliding club on Long Mynd, across the bridle path!

Plenty of signs around the hill and you'd struggle to miss the gliders!What! No warning cones or signs?
Lordy Lord I havent seen that many pics since...err..I last posted..fantastic scenery though ..Mountains, alps, etc. Villars and Les Diablerets. The final shot is on the national piste into Ley Diablerets, I can ski that in around 3 or 4 minutes, takes a bit longer to ascend on the bike even with assistance

I once had the chance to have a ride in the old wooden gliders that were at (I think) Haddenham near Oxford. They looked like the Colditz escape glider.I did a static line parachute jump about 40 years ago at Sunderland airfield ( now the site of the Nissan factory)..Great thrill ..but I was jealous and at the same time pleased when a few years ago my son who was in the Scouts got to go up in a glider ..and that's still on my bucket list to do one day ..
Jan'80 was my static line jump. It was in the doorway of the plane at 2000' that I discovered I wasn't too good with heights!

Nope. Unless you want to buy a glider. They do cost a bit more than bikesI managed to fly into the ground but the gliders do look like a good hobby, must cost more than ebiking.
Did you have fire fighters on hand to keep spraying you with water ?I’ve never ridden this in such dry conditions, utterly brilliant.
Far from flat Steve……..3,300ft of climbing, nothing is flat in Northumberland ? View attachment 64383
