The Rough Stuff Fellowship Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/rsfarchive/ - have a look) is posting up a lot of their archive images currently and there's some great pics.
This one is really special. It's like someone drew a straight line across a map and they followed it.

I saw that earlier and thought the original caption of”Bob’s easy way” couldn’t be topped, but rather it invites a competition to find an image to answer the question “then what the hell is Bob’s difficult way?” 🙂
"It is worth it Wilf, I hear the descent has awesome roost and kickers"
Brilliant!
I think to tie in with the photo on the fourth row of that link.
"What length of rope did you pack?"
What tyres for....
I told you no good would come of getting a Garmin
Woah! Amazing link! My Dad's in some of those pics, and I know a lot of the other people too, mainly from the RSF Lancashire group. I've got loads of RSF pics at home from 1960's to 1990's, is somebody on here the person who owns that Instagram account? I think I'll message them.
That collection of pictures is brilliant. Certainly adds some context into the cheeky trails debate. These guys just rode what they wanted.
'Are you sure there's a pub at the top Ray?'
Takes the "insta" out of instagram somewhat 🙂
Great pictures though - I'll be following along and I might even buy a book.
'Dunno why the other lads don't want another go at the descent!'
"I say Ted, there are some folk in California making bikes that will make riding this easy."
"Easy?" replied Roger. "What's the point in that!"
"Just imagine, wouldn't it be wonderful if, one day, you could just press a button and the bike would pedal itself?"
Pedal Itself?, replied Roger [i]“What’s the point in that!”[/i]
"Stop moaning Bernard, we're blazing a trail for others to follow. Our adventures and hardship will enable fat middle aged IT managers to squabble over any subject on the internet in 50 years' time."
"Hah, looks an interesting route he said. Someone had better hurry up and invent Bombers, I've got some owning to do!"
"That Maude from Woolworth's better put out for you, this is an odd place for her to suggest meeting you."
"They say Akrigg's done it on an Ordinary..."
I'm guessing these are the result of the scanning the guys have done for the RSF book that was on Kickstarter.
Really looking forward to the book and have enjoyed the regular updates on progress.
My first Kickstarter but realise they aren't all this well executed!
If they were on eBikes they would be able to ride up all of that......
