Amazing video. Might have a look at this route next couple of weeks. Keep up the good work..

Cheers thanks, hope you enjoy the route and that the bracken won't be as bad along the bridleway 😃

Great video. Do you think it would be possible to do the route on a gravel bike?

[@manyadescent822]

Thanks Steven. Most of it can be done on a gravel bike but the section through the bracken may be a bit tricky with it being overgrown plus there's the tree root descent just after. It might be a case of seeing what it's like so by all means give it a go. You may have to carry the bike over the tree root sections though. Other than that it's a great ride - enjoy 👍

Hi there, really enjoyed your ride. I’m wanting to follow the Strava link but it doesn’t work for me when I click on it. I’m just on the free version 😢 so is that the reason it doesn’t work, many thanks. I could look up your user name if I had it

[@manyadescent822]

Hi @stealthman05, Thanks for this. The link may not work if you are on the free version as I'm aware this has happened to a few people when they have gone onto other KZbin channels, so as a result cannot get gpx files etc from various rides. Anyone who has the Strava Subscription are able to click on the link (or cut and paste into their browser) and see the ride on Strava. I've just tested this by logging into my Strava account and then pasting the link into the browser and it works fine. Try logging in to your Strava account and do the same ie. paste the link into the browser to see if it works. Hopefully this method should work, if not let me know. Cheers!
