LOCAL AND STAVELEY BRIDGE RIDE 17:11:2024

That looks a nice ride loved the tackling the overgrown bit

[@yorkneytrailrider1751]

Thanks mate, it was an enjoyable ride but I was knackered when I got home, nearly 4 months of sleep deprivation has had a real negative effect, it was a bit surprising to see so many stingers and brambles still around 👍

@yorkneytrailrider1751 round here it's only really started dying back the last couple of weeks the leaves have all fallen very quickly the last two weeks too .Todays been the first really frosty Day that will start to finish off what's left . I'm not looking forwards to the next few months plus at the moment the ferry is still broken so it's harder to get into Grizedale for us

[@yorkneytrailrider1751]

Not good no ferry, I should imagine it’s a big inconvenience mate, it’s just started snowing here in Sheffield so we might wake up tomorrow to a white world, most of the leaves have fallen here too, I like the autumn and I like the snow but only when I’m not at work like at the moment 😎

@@yorkneytrailrider1751 if we dont have the ferry on we have the horrible road ride to and from Ambleside getting skimmed by traffic on the section for the Low wood hotel to waterhead holding all the traffic up, i counted 32 cars that i had held up when i pulled over at the low wood on a return earlier in the year while the ferry was having its re fit,and at was me killing myself to try and do 20mph ish so above assist and on wide tyres with plenty of drag. Its not a nice ride compared to 15 minutes after the ferry I can be in Grizedale

Bloody hell that sounds 💩I hate riding on the roads too, it’s bad enough where I live but it’s nowhere near as bad as that mate, hopefully the ferry is fixed quickly, I hope so for your sake, I know what that feels like trying to ride at 20 mph on an ebike is no joke ☹️

go pro footage is very clear Sean.... nice ride too mate... glad to see you back out and about 🤘😊

[@yorkneytrailrider1751]

Thanks Rob, yeah seems like forever since my last ride, it looks pretty clear but I still have to play around with the settings, I set it to wide angle instead of hyper wide angle but hey ho, every day is a school day 😁

[@EMTBnorthyorkshiredad]

@@yorkneytrailrider1751does look good in wide, but will be good to see what it looks like in Hyper view. I read your video description after my first comment. Sorry to hear that you have been having a traumatic time mate and I hope things are getting easier for you now.

[@yorkneytrailrider1751]

Thanks Rob, yea it’s been a tough few months, I saw someone kill themself and it’s left me with flashbacks and really graffic nightmares, I’m lucky if I get a few hours sleep each night even after going out on my bike it wasn’t much better, I feel so weak without sleep so I’m signed off work until things get better ☹️ The hyper wide angle isn’t as wide as I was expecting to be honest, but then it’s not going to be because GoPro conveniently sell a separate superdupa wide angle fisheye lens at almost £100, it’s marginally wider than the widest lens on my 9 black, ok I know I’ve put some weight on since I’ve been off work but not that much to make that much difference, we got some snow Monday night so went for a ride yesterday but I played around with the settings and only discovered this when I started editing the footage yesterday afternoon, as you can imagine it wasn’t what I hoping for 😠

[@EMTBnorthyorkshiredad]

@ ohhh 😮. Sorry to hear that Sean. Can’t begin to imagine something like that happening mate.

[@yorkneytrailrider1751]

@@EMTBnorthyorkshiredad I don't want to imagine it either Rob but I can't get it out of my head at the moment, its mental torture with the nightmares mate, its woken me early again hence why I'm typing this at this god unholy hour 😩
