Return to the Wrekin - riding the stupidly slippy and steep tracks
I did try to warn them. I mentioned on a number of occasions that the tracks on The Wrekin in Shropshire were bloody steep, that they made the steep one at Eastridge look weedy and that given the amount of rain we have had recently, it was likely to be incredibly slippery.
As it turned out, it wasn't quite as slippery as expected but boy is it steep. On this ride, I was joined by Marc, Christian and Conor (Ned Flanders) and we ended up having yet another best ride of the year.
Marc's channel (TheGibMTB) is: / thegib74
Christian's channel (Electric Mountain Biker) is: / @electricmountainbiker
Conor's channel (Conor_BeechMTB) is: / @beechiescootz
I use a Stuntman chest harness, far better than the standard GoPro ones, offering more stability for the camera, more camera positions and much more comfortable. Click the link to get yourself one from Amazon. amzn.to/35tbq75

Cheers mate. Once again, we had a bloody fantastic ride; 2020 really has been a damned good year for riding, even with the three months where we couldn't go anywhere. We've made up for lost time in-between though, definitely 👍

Excellent riding yet again mate ......I know how steep it is there ...and you made it look well easy . I’m sure Marc and Christian would freely admit ...riding with you ...gaining confidence and inspiration from you is one major reason why they have made such huge strides this year . Look forward to your vids and company in 2021 👍

Another cracking vid mate! Had me proper laughing with some of your commentary 😂👌 Glad you found Hillbilly trail (second run) - that’s the one I was recommending to Marc which I think is the most challenging on the ‘less steep side’ lol. Mega gutted I couldn’t make it out with you guys but next time I’ll be there for sure 👍 There’s one called Southern Monkey which we really must all try and do same time!
@Stopadoodledoo

I have ridden it at the end of summer but being the English summer, it had rained all week. A bloke we were chatting to was saying that it gets very loose when bone dry. To be honest, it was riding pretty well on this day, despite it having rained a ridiculous amount that week. Just as well really as if the soil was clay based, it would be hell on earth 😃
