I thought the main fuss over riding there had died down now but maybe not (the DH bits are just outside the SSSI site and that lane is actually a bridleway anyway

They did ban riding for a while up there 6 years or so back after DH'ers took down part of a wall & carved a track down the face of the hill, made East Mids today & MBR & I guess there's still a bit of bad feeling about. Shame because it used to be a great can't be arssed to travel & need to get back early ride.

nice vids tex, let me know when you up again & ill meet you. did you both find the rock garden off the back side of 'start' hill?
Tut tut...the long twisty DH you have video'd is the SSSI area, you can however (ahem) make that run a good bit longer, making the ridge line fall about halfway through the run
