Yeah loads of bridleway trails. And the occasional late evening footpath ride, that photo on the last page is a footpath ride 
They definitely keep on top of Whinlatter better than other trail centres do. Last time I rode the whole of the North Face at Grizedale 90% of it had washed away or worn out

Mine is an odd green colour like what the front wheels on my corsa were years ago. Its more of a skateboard helmet so it gets bloody warm sadly.

I've got a SixSixOne Recon Wired helmet but it doesn't fit as nicely as the Giro ones I've got. Giro always make nice fitting helmets.

I've got my kayak helmet in the shed. Tried it on last weekend to see if it would look cool or not. Bottled it. That looks like a skateboard helmet too.

That giro helmet seems alright actually and available in green, which is cool.

Going to measure my head tonight and order one. Most likely will bottle it and go for the matt grey.

My next purchase is lock on grips and a shorter stem. That should pretty much be that bike sorted for a couple of years until I get a new one.
