[Closed] PEAKS POOTLE: 24TH SEPTEMBER, EDALE, 10.00AM

I'm not happy that I forgot an end fade, but its alright innit? THISISNOTASPOON.... PHOTOS OF THE CRASH?

I would also like to say thankyou to everyone involved. I had a great day with excellent company & the route was perfect for me.

Chris & Jules did an excellent job of guiding & have set the level should I ever go on a guided holiday.

Many thanks chaps & lady, cant wait for the next one.

Ryan - on the whyte 146

Damn I missed this, looks like you had fun! How often does this get organised? Would love to tag along next time.

they're pretty sporadic to be honest stevie, but we do about 4 or 5 a year, and everyone's welcome!

Excellent vid and a top day. Still couldn't see the blonde though.

she's not in it. yet.

Better be worth it, the wife is giving me a lot of ear ache over this!

THISISNOTASPOON.... PHOTOS OF THE CRASH?

No crash photos, just the resulting man love afterwards, uploading them as we speek.

cool

Can I just say that I think it's fundamentally wrong to post video of a stranger on a pubic forum so that people can basically letch over her without her consent.

right o. cheers bwd. hence it not being in the video.

Cheers Pook, I reckoned that was probably the case, but I thought I'd mention it as people don't really seem to have thought it through. Crashes on the the other hand...

Should we not have looked at her as we rode past either?

I must admit, to be honest I think the call for seeing her in the video is more as a result of the banter that followed, and no a request for any masturbatory aids. I think that it's an unfair judgement to pass on the members of the group who, in a tongue in cheek manner are asking for visual reference of the girl we were talking when ripping the proverbial out of sam for his comment.

But still, she's not in the video because as a person with half decent judgement; both when it comes to social etiquette, and editing a video, it was just a rubbish shot.

Anyway. Back to the crashes.

I am aching. I understand Harry is also sore today. I'm just looking at the crash itself.....

Should we not have looked at her as we rode past either?

I'm not saying that at all, I actually stopped and chatted to her for five minutes. I'm just saying that posting video of a stranger on a public forum without her consent makes me feel a bit uneasy. You have a rip at me for thinking that if you like, that's just my opinion 😕

Thanks again Pook. Looking forward to the next one. Let's make the next one boom-gnarly 8)

I'm not having a go I just think you're being a little over sensitive. I saw it how Chris has described in his first paragraph above. Had it been a chap/un-attractive person/sheep that I'd had an amusing chat with I think people would still want to see the cause of the hilarity.

In addition to that, we don't own the copyright to our own image - so I can go out in a public place, film people doing what they are doing and put it on the internet, no drama. TV crews do it all the time - watch the news this evening. How people choose to react to those images is up to them but in this specific case, I don't believe there's anything to 'letch over'. YMMV

Maybe taking a pic of her will capture her soul 😉

She wasn't riding a soul.

jus watched the video and i must say that pook has done a wicked job once again. the man hug gets funniet each time i watch it!!

I'm not having a go I just think you're being a little over sensitive.

Well, I think you're being insensitive 😕 My first exhibit for the prosecution is that your opinion appears to be shared by Hora, which is never a good thing... 🙄

I rest my case...

revised video.[/url]

Great vid. Hebdem boys could do better 😀 (joke!)

which one Mark?

Thanks to Chris & Jules for the organisation & all the counting 🙂 . Thanks to (was it?) Graham for the cake and to everyone else for a good day out.

I'll even forgive whoever it was that took me out at the bottom of Pindale. My calf feels like it's bruised but, disappointingly, nothing to see. Congratulations to the lad who managed to avoid me on the lane down from Greenlands but who crashed spectacularly in doing so. You had me worried there for a second. Hope you're OK.

Jesus welcomes all, even you.

taken out at the bottom of pindale? what happened?

I think I was riding a bike magnet yesterday 😀
Someone came round the last corner (the house) saw we were closer than he was expecting & tried to make the gap to my left just as I was dismounting. Clipped my left calf (which was still clipped in) with his pedal as he went past and I was flipped onto my arse. Looked worse than it felt I think. He was very apologetic 🙂
Similar thing happened below Greenlands, some of us had stopped because of the horses, rider comes hooning round the corner...

I'm not entirely sure what I'm being insensitive to, but it seems we've got different opinions on the matter so I'll leave it there.

It was an awesome ride, which is what this thread should be about, so thanks again Chris, Jules, t'other Chris for giving me a lift and everyone else for turning up

@Bunnyhop - aw shucks! ///blushes//

they're pretty sporadic to be honest stevie, but we do about 4 or 5 a year, and everyone's welcome!

I'll keep my eyes open for the next one!

Ourkidsam is under 30 BWD. I think he's allowed to vocally talk about the fairer sex still unlike old timers like me and you who really shouldn't be spending 5mins 'talking to her' 😉

pics slowly uploading (mobile broadband).

I only stopped and talked to her, so I didn't have to talk to you... 😉

[b]For those of you who particularly enjoyed seeing me sent flying, or indeed Harry who was simply flying......[/b]

Thanks Chris and Jules for organising and keeping us altogether! I'd love to do another soon.

Warwick, (Riding the white Santa Cruz with the freehub held together by the power of positive thought!)

hmm.
i should have made the effort and come to this.
balls.

twas a good 'un fo sho

Chris could you put a list up of the route, just so I know where I have been

mtb_matt posted a route map further up from his GPS

graeme's photos here : http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/peaks-pootle-240911

Just had a look must have missed it first read, although it does not list the local/trail names (that I can see) such as Pindale, Edale,Mam torr, chapelgate ect

Although I just looked at your pics nbt and spotted Hollins cross and Bradwell edge.

I didn;t take any pics, I just showed Graeme's link

Name wise we did Greenlands up to Hollins Cross, round Mam Tor to Mam nick and across the valley to dirtlow rake and pin dale, through the cement works to bradwell, up the double track to shatton moor then down bradwell edge, back through the cement works to Castleton, up the broken road and back through Mam Nick to drop down the Toboggan run to Edale (although a splinter group rode up to Hollins Cross and dropped to Back Tor Farm)

Thanks nbt, thats what I wanted to know.

Sorry if my first post wasn't clearer

what jules said ^

Gave up uploading mine, I'll pop into a caffoe shop at some point and use their wi-fi to do it.

Sat at my desk itching to get back out there - damn you work!!!

I might run one sooner next time.

im a lady

We know that slowrider 😉

just reserving my place in the post-ride jacuzzi

Bunnyhop - I can do camp if that's any use?

I WILL make the next PP.

slowrider makes his own bubbles..... PARP

slowrider is hsmith's slower riding brother (if anyones wonder who he is) 😉

slowerthanharryrider

Bunnyhop - I can do camp if that's any use?

its true. until we get to the rocky bits.

does slowrider crash as much as harry?

Hang on, there's Tom, Harry and is their Dad (a lovely fella) called Dick?

nope, paul. and the middle brother is owen.

the dick is harry

Luckily safetynetpook is around

:lol:@ slowrder.
OMG you mean there's 3 of you 😉

i think our dad wins on the crash count jules, usually around the half dozen a ride mark. if he is below par he usually fits on or two uphill crashes in to keep the average up.

your dad didn;t hit pook though did he 😉

he is a practiced crasher and is courteous to spectators

What about bald, ugly obstructions?

im sure there were too many of them on the pootle to miss them all

A bit more video from Saturday's pootle

At 9mins you included a 'walker'...the Puritan Missionary will be along shortly 😆

You've reminded me- when we waited for Lee (Muff) to catch up after his puncture and we finally went down Pindale it was funny to see the amount of pinchflats and falls that everyone had 😯

Nice video there Phil, it's nice to see one thats not filmed on the (too)wide angle view 🙂

looking forward to seeing that, can't view on my phone.cheers Phil.

Now I know why I didn't see the controversial blonde. It's because I only have eyes for my wife.

And that at 8:47, there's a little fork off to the left that I took.

Bloody good video Phil!

I say 'funny' - thankfully everyone who fell is alright/just grazes 🙂

Nice one Phil - who are the cheeky buggers coming past you down Cavedale??

Fantastic video Phil thanks for sharing me and the wife are kicking ourselves for missing this pootle.
Hope there will be another one soon???
