A day of total carnage in Shropshire. The Wrekin is the stuff legends are made of!
Thanks very much to the other KZfaqrs out that day for showing me around. Check out their channels here:

Great video as always. Laughing at someone's expense is not good, but no one was hurt, I had a laugh thanks. ☯️☮️

@TrailTrackerSwitzerland 2 жыл бұрын

Glad you enjoyed it. There was more laughing on this ride than any other I can remember, and seeing as no one got hurt (well apart from a couple of minor scratches) then it's all fair game 👍

It's so good! I will definitely be trying to pay another visit if I have time when I'm next back in the UK.

"That is wild!!!" Is right... Place looks a challenge (let alone probably the steepest looking bit of track I've seen from the UK in a good long while) even if it were dry... But a right pucker fest in the wet! Nice work! Good day out though I'd wager!! :D

@TrailTrackerSwitzerland 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching Phil. My butt was puckered all day long!!! (Was that too much information?) Apparently though, bone dry conditions are even worse than the wet on the Wrekin. Hard to believe, I know, but I trust the boys when they say this.

Thanks Gav. We had a proper laugh all day long. The wet off-piste we did in Les Gets was child's play compared to this though!

What fun and a massive mud pit. The one sections looked scary. Great video as always and so many laughs, really lovely to watch. I loved seeing you with the boys and enjoyed the adventure through the camera. Thanks for that Darren. Take care and see you on the trail🤙

Bloody Muddy Mary, if the first trail was on the easy side of the hill I don't want to know how it looks like on the other ! Glad you made it down in one piece without producing any sort of carnage ! Imagine if you're used to ride under such conditions all the time, it must be like in paradise when going somewhere the trails are dry !

If you can tame all the trails on this hill, you’d be ready to take on almost anything!

That was marc's back wheel catching something. Pretty impressive crash On that steep corner you can see forks that don't have enough support on them. That isn't going to help with the confidence. Stopadoodledoo is hilarious to watch lol

Thankfully it was just a really spectacular crash and Marc didn't hurt himself. My hire bike definitely needed a couple more tokens in the fork for sure!

It was an awesome day with the lads. I was a bit out of my element on those wet and greasy trails I’d love to go back and try it in the dry.

@@TrailTrackerSwitzerland it is so challenging on those really narrow steep muddy lose trails. I always find myself grabbing the brakes too much when it's the worst thing to do. Closest I've ridden to that is probably Black rocks near Matlock, got some really great trails .....but that's where I broke my neck. 🤣🤣🤣

It was a great day out - I was on a complete high for the rest of the day. I can definitely understand where the trepidation comes from though. Having said that, I don't think it'll put me off paying those trails another visit if I get the opportunity! OGL should be out next week.

I know exactly what you mean. I was very cautious at the beginning, but after the first trail I began to have a bit more confidence in the levels of grip.
