Return to Oswestry - It doesn't get any easier 

Cheers mate and yep, it is steep and yep, they should have used a straw. I saw the ladies when I got back to the car park and they feigned ignorance in my stunt crash 😃

@@Stopadoodledoo 🤣 how rude of them!

They were baying for blood and they got it 😂. Cheers as always mate 👍

I bet it’s interesting with lights! You really are lucky living two miles away, great riding on your doorstep 👍

Bummed by aliens or eaten by wolves? It’s the question that has been debated for hundreds of years by the World’s greatest minds 😂

Thanks mate. Oswestry definitely has testing trails but not all of them are silly; the singletrack one along the top (skills area discussion one) is nice and flowing with interesting bits and the dog poo trail has a straight line option at the bottom which misses out the steep log drop bit. It’s well worth a visit and explore 👍

Thanks mate, it was a fun but tough day all told really. No poo though, thank God 😂

Thanks mate and yeah, it's pretty damned good there. It was actually riding far better last time with a bit of moisture in the ground; it was maybe a bit too loose on this day 👍

Stopadoodledoo I will get there one day hopefully 🙏🔥

Cheers Mick, there's a whole back catalogue of my bizarre mix of trail riding, swearing and upsetting people to go through 😂

Cheers mate. I guess I ride ok but it’s all relative really. I can’t jump to save my life, crash on a regular basis and know a lot of people who make me feel like I am stood still. I just love riding, and love testing myself down silly stuff that’s probably not wise for someone fast approaching fifty 😂

@@Stopadoodledoo damn dude! Respect and still your riding well I can tell!!! 🤟 Nice job! 👏👍

It's a constant battle mate, although less so than when we went into lockdown back in March and people seemed to give up bagging it. I do have a dropper post for the Orange (a Reverb) but the circlip snapped. Got a full service kit for it but I don't have a vice to allow me to fix it, and I can't get it booked in for a service anywhere for love nor money. It's a pain doing it manually but not the end of the world 👍

All recovered a day or so after thanks mate, bit of concussion I think, although that could have been the result of the beers I had that evening 😂

@@Stopadoodledoo 😂

Cheers mate. Oswestry is well worth a visit. Some trails (mainly the steep one) are full on but there’s loads of others that aren’t ridiculous

Sorry should add. The Cruddy is mint. It’s about 1.5 miles away towards H2O MX centre. You’d have to look for it on Strava.

Thanks Adrian. I really need to get back and explore more around there. My exploring in this day didn’t go too well so I went for what I knew from the previous visit. I keep looking over at the woods at Cefn Coch; anything in there?

@@Stopadoodledoo no idea to be fair. The Cruddy’s well worth a visit. Look about a mile and a half north along Spring Hill farm road. You’ll see loads of DH trails. 2/3 min trails with a fire road back up.

@@adrianholmes5477 I ride bucknell a bit but was told good things about cruddy by Al bond, how would I get there 👍

Thanks mate. I did see the funny side once I'd taken a photo of my nose and worked out that it wasn't broken 😂. Really chuffed that my videos inspire you to get out and ride, that means a lot 👍

It's your approach to the whole thing mate...just go do it rain or shine spot on 😀

I guess it's because I am a gobshite and never know when to shut up 😂

@@Stopadoodledoo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣but hey I like your channel, look forward to see more new version of your mtb explore.

Thanks mate. This coming Monday’s video is quite different to this one (I didn’t fall off for starters 😂), one of my favourite rides of the year 👍
