It was at whinlatter but I don't think it particularly exists anymore sadly

It's coombs wood near armathwaite (towards Carlisle). I have a couple videos if you look up coombs woods mtb👍

@@DansTrailShreds nice I’m heading down there this weekend to scout out some trail

I’m from Carlisle way

There's not much in terms of beginners In the lakes. I would start out at whinlatter and do the blue route then maybe the red route if that's okay. Other good official routes for beginners are I'm Dumfries... AE and mabie forest. Look them up on Google followed by mountain biking and there's tonnes of info. Have a great time shredding the trails mate!

Cheers mate! I'm not familiar with the slayer drop, sorry? The big ones I know are the caveman drop and that huge cliff one but never done either.

Yeah it's called coombs wood above armathwaite in the Eden valley. They're on trailforks though. Great set of trails!

Il stop off on the way home from work one evening to take a look. I’m trying to find 2 tracks to train on. 1)very technical track (dh/enduro) and 2) high speed with jumps/berms(dh/enduro )etc. atm, hamsterley appears to be the best place but I’m hoping to find some local tracks to Shap. Thanks.

I would say coombs is a pretty chill but fun spot. If your after jumps berms then go to setmurthy (outside cockermouth) and from trailforks do setters jumpline, main line and things like roots are slightly more techy. For tech and steeps the best you'll get is like whinlatter off pistes and dent around here but down south lakes is good too. I haven't been to descend bike park in ages but it was amazing so definitely want to return!

For local trails you don't have many options. Between me and you there's some secret stuff above Penrith on beacon hill and coombs wood but you really need to drive

I stopped at coomb woods on Wednesday after work. Didn’t have a lot of time to explore it all but I saw 5 tracks (from armathwaite side of woods) and they look good. Some look a bit steep but rideable once I’m up to speed on a bike again. The soil is almost completely sand I noticed on some tracks so finding grip on the steeper sections may be a challenge at first. Thanks again for your help and advice. Il go hamsterley again a few more times to try to get up to speed and used to the new bike.

All the trails here are on trailforks.com under the area named Caberston. Parking is at the golf club next to innerleithen (theres spots before and after the golf club). Now make your way to the top and i recommend: New York New York, Repeat offender, flat white, community service, big baw and feed the pony if u get the chance. It's a very popular spot where there are trails on every part of the hill and if u get lost there are plenty of people to ask. Other spots in the valley include Glentress which has a bit easier riding and trail centre stuff, innerleithen (on the opposite side of the valley) which includes alot of dh stuff with an uplift. It's definitely one of the best areas in the UK and couls easily spend weeks there as everywhere is good and there's so much! Hope you enjoy it!

@@DansTrailShreds Sounds unreal to be fair!! I was hoping to get up there for a weekend at some point. Sounds as though there is plenty of trails to check out. Appreciate it 👍👍

Thats really great to hear! These trails are just a few of the briliant riding up there. It just scratched the surface of the golfie but everywhere else around including inners is just soo good too

You can find them on trailforks.com edit: They have completely changed due to forestry work and is much less well built up and is significantly harder especially in wet!

@@DansTrailShreds i think its been reopened now, or so it says on trailforks

@@J_Harker I went up and tried it a couple weeks back! There are still closed signs but the whole thing is 'rideable' from top to bottom (I pushed one really rooty bit at the bottom). Beware for a couple more exciting and very steep diversions if you ride it tho. Otherwise running really good!

@@DansTrailShreds ah cheers mate

Cheers mate

Wish you could mate, unfortunately all destroyed now by forestry :( Setmurthy and Coombs wood running really good atm tho (I've done a couple vids up at those recently)

@@DansTrailShreds ahh that's a shame yeah I know setmurphy well was up there not long ago. Need to try coombs

Sorry for late reply, just saw this now. Yes Coombs is really good - highly recomenned!

Yeah its an amazing spot. Theres a few videos up on the channel too from up there. I recommended roots as my favourite as once i get the right line its mint

Cheers mate

Great, thank you alot for your kind and generous support! I love the tweed valley - I've done alot of racing there including the ews recently which was gonna be an upload but was a bit of a disaster really. But yea if u need any advice with what trails are good just give me a shout!

Erm yes i have had this mentioned before hahahaha. Hope you enjoyed it tho 😏😂

Thank you very much! Really appreciate the support

Thank you for the support! Going to be publishing some new stuff too up in Scotland (including the ews). Got some big plans

@@DansTrailShreds 🤟 Good to know, I'll be waiting. I take the opportunity to ask you to take a look at my channel and if you like it, subscribe too

I'll see wat i can do :D

Yea they definitely are, this was filmed up there on Friday too acutally so surprised i didn't see you up there

@@DansTrailShreds great videos keep it up👍👍

@@finnerz9200 Cheers lad👍

Hi yea its a spot called setmurthy. I did a video on it a while back here 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5OVd6qcZ66hq8U

@@DansTrailShreds thank you 👍

Hey there! Its just next to a spot called armathwaite between penrith and carlisle. Also, its quick drying so as long as it hasnt rained super hard then it should be ok.

I think its on trailforks.com too. The woods themselves are called coombs wood

Cheers👍

Thanks! Was an absolute blast!

Cheers, hope u have a good yan

@@DansTrailShreds ah man are you local aye? Not many folk say yan haha.

@@mtbmadman187 yea living in cumbria so dent, whinlatter, coombs all my locals

@@DansTrailShreds wicked! Only just starting out myself man done a tiny bit of whinlatter that was fun!

Hey man, a bit weird it isnt on trailforks app. Heres the links to trails here: north side enduro stage 2: www.trailforks.com/trails/enduro-stage-2/ half days into garbanzo lower: www.trailforks.com/trails/half-days/ And the for south: #loamranger on Trailforks www.trailforks.com/trails/loamranger/ and www.trailforks.com/trails/hugh-jass/ Hope you have a good ride 👍 PS u prob wanna do it in dry lol

Can’t thank you enough mate I appreciate your time good man take it easy pal 👊🏻

@@boypike25 cheers, u too 👍

Thanks, will have to check it out at some point aha

Yea that section on the north used to be my favourite section due to tech but theyve completely changed it into flow now. I do prefer the old trail for 2nd to last descent on north but that last section makes up for it :D

@@DansTrailShreds completely agree.

Yea absolutely especially with the gravel! However i guess they are good for practice tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the support, I spent the most amount of time i've ever done on making a video on this one, glad you enjoyed it👍 Not giving anything away just yet but got plans for when i get 100 subs

@@DansTrailShreds ok sick

Thanks👍

Go pro hero 9 mate 👍 Its works just as well as the hero 10 in most situations. Only downside is a tad bit harder to use (touch screen can be a bit annoying sometimes but i'm not upgrading)

The main thing is setup tho, i would recomened loam ranger or jordan boostmaster's guide with iso max at 6400 which makes stabilization so much better but its kinda a new thing so not many ppl have updated go pro guides yet

@@DansTrailShreds definitely looks much better than my hero 3! Your videos are great man

Yea totaly aha, go pros have come a long way. Thanks for the support👍

@@DansTrailShreds keep it up man coz your video quality is great. Maybe I’ll meet you up at setters some day 🤘

It’s in the Eden valley at a spot called armathwaite just south from Carlisle. The woods themselves are called Coombs wood 👍 I think the trails recently been mapped out on Trailforks.com but do be aware that some are getting a bit overgrown particularly rollercoaster aha

Whinlatter north side (off piste just off the north loop down to thornthwaite) Called enduro stage 1 (would also recommended loam!), into half days and garbanzo lower on trailforks.com 👍 Got a full pov just here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5OwaqKdjs2Grq8

@@DansTrailShreds ahhhhhhh! I know exactly where they are now. 😁 Enduro is really good, but really needed cutting back last time I rode it.

Yea trails are running so well atm. They certainly are something in wet 😂

@@DansTrailShreds going to head up tomorrow and have a play

Thanks! 👍

cheers!

On trailforks.com the trail is Hugh jass and the couple following!

@@DansTrailShreds thanks 👍

It's just to the right to the bottom of half days (called garbanzo lower on trailforks.com)👍 Hope you get some descent conditions for them aha🤘

@@DansTrailShreds yeah founded it , great top to bottom run in mint condition 👊

​@@danielhelm9682 Nice one!👍 just before the rain mate 😂

Yea off piste enduro is my thing all the way! Although, I'm gonna try to practice some more flowy trails to get faster on bike park stuff as I think that's my weakest point atm :D

Cheers mate, nice to see you again👍

Yea they are quite technical wee trails but build to em and you'll get them at some point 👍

Glad you enjoyed it
