IDIOTS' GUIDE TO RIDING THE LONGMYND (SORT OF!)

Join us as we try and take you on an Idiots' Guide to the Longmynd mountains of Shropshire. As usual we encounter a few issues along the way, the wrong trail, a crash and the wrong 'aspect ratio' setting on the new GoSlow Hero 7 Black! We also showcase the awesome set-up of Blazing Bikes and their accommodation, seen here- www.blazingbikes.co.uk/

Totally with you on being polite and courteous to walkers; I ride cheeky trails quite often but always give way and am always cheery and polite and very rarely get any negativity. Unfortunately, not all bikers are the same, think they own all trails and see walkers as being a hindrance to their Strava times; I like to call them bellends. The footage from the Seven is worth the hassle; the audio was pretty spot on too.

Great riding up there. Fair play trying to pedal up from Carding Mill Valley Jim, I always default to a bit of hike a bike up there.

The one time I did the whole climb up Motts road, I got to the top hoping to collapse on the grass, to find a school party there and the teacher decided to lead a round of applause from the kids to spur me on.....I had to cycle on until out of sight until I could collapse and quietly have a heart attack....

The first downhil trail is called Town Brook... In the past There were NT signs saying no bikers. Like Jim says... Please choose carefully when to ride down there. It's such an amazing bit of trail. I went down there recently. Luckily I only met two walkers who were extremely polite. Great vid Jim

When I last did the last down hill on from the gliders club there was some mad dog by the farmers house that whenever you went past they would be that crazy. I always found extra power to get out of there when them dog was there.

Being from Telford often up in all weather, I tend to ride any trail if you can access it and rarely have a problem with hikers as like you demonstrated I always stop and give way, but I have to be honest to observing that many don't and the reason there are problems at times. The first trail you did down I did up on my very first visit to the area and it was impossible (for me) the higher up I got. There is a brilliant short drop down to carding mill just above willow batch that will rattle your bones

Jim I’m running a 32t up front and 11-42 XT on 27.5. Struggle a bit as 56 now. Hard work round Degla on the black climbs. Was thinking of trying a 11-46. What the jump in ratio’s like ? Or Suntour 11-46 as ratio’s closer. Great vid BTW. Hero 7 is brill dude. Hope to get on this trail with my son come spring.

I certainly wouldn't go back from the big hearing, you could also go smaller and oval on the front, oval has helped my knees no end!
