Sure footed work from the two Blacks and well filmed on an almost spring-like morning. I still struggle with the Alien backdrop to Manchester tho', shame that we can't do anything about that!! many thanks for sharing. Cheers Alan

Wonderful shot Phil. I've only been to this climb once, and got covered in green slime by the retaining wall. Glorious weather this morning, and the clean exhaust and sanders being on complete the scene perfectly. Thanks, David.

[@981smithy]

Linesider1 Thanks for watching David and I have to agree the weather was just perfect for the fives run up the bank. Cheers Phil.
