And why are you dressed like a power ranger? I just wear arse shorts and a footy top with my helmet and gloves

It's a baggy t shirt but because of the go pro bra it doesn't look like it. Also the shorts are baggy ones but due to massive leg muscles.....etc

off out to test out my mates saracen tonight, re-doing the grizedale pike-hobcarton descent from last week seeing as its a nice night. worth the hike-a-bike up to the top for sure. taking the go-amateur camera this time as i fell off last time.

miss 1 drop as I can never line it up due to speed I go at, need to go slower to hit it. Other than that I get them all?
if you mean the bit about 1 minute in, where it goes to the left, thats actually a different line to the one i was riding.

Nic - those videos are good.
It's years since I've been biking in the lakes. I'm going to have to bring my bike up at some point when I go to see my parents in Lancaster. A few mates still go every so often.

there is another section through the trees at the end of this clip but it was way too dark sadly for the camera to pick up.

Potentially a decent saving then - is it as good as the others you looked at though
