Where abouts is that first bit and the detour through the woods? Looks fun, I obviously don't know the area as we'll as I'd like.

The first bit drops down into Bradwell from the east side, the woodland bit i've been told to remain shushed about. No doubt someone on here will reveal where it is though...

higher quality version is on the conversion queue

I think the most important question is WTF have you got on your legs?

Speaking as a Cambridgeshire resident, I'd hardly call that boring singletrack!

Love the soundtrack too. Who was the first track by?

First one is Bradwell Edge, don't recognise the tree bit though, must be super cheeky!

Is that Cutthroat Bridge at the end? Never been that way, always gone to the inn.

Looks awesome. Was that one day? Don't suppose you/someone could send me the route (miss out the cheeky bit through the woods if its secret - or not;) ).

That first descent at Bradwell Edge is MUCH steeper than in that video, was quite greasy too when I did it last weekend.

Did Cave Dale too (Bradwell Circuit from the Dark Peak Trails book) and had to walk a couple of tiny sections (cause I'm a pussy) but the rest of it was nowhere near as fast as that! Think it's my new fav descent though, will be back next week hopefully to clean it, that section after the gate is properly MENTAL!

Nice video that though, hope you weren't too sore after those offs!

map : http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/34673674 map is worth taking with a pinch of salt, does zig zag a bit off track in places, mainly joins up the general points we went past.
