I did this yesterday after watching your video. There was more water than trees ! Very muddy and slippery but fantastic for a first timer like me who is new to this sport. Thankyou.
Been going for years..its only an hour from me and I love it...I end up there nearly once a week...took my ebike and its awesome doing the techy forest climbs.
Brings back great memories of when i went here a few months ago, love the place, i never did long way down though, i will have to try that one, great vid mate, excellent riding :)
@@TrailFinder , ye, im still a bit sore but luckily no serious damage, apart from a bruised hip and a suspected broken finger, should be back on my bike next weekend :)
Like a good blast around Gisburn. The volunteers have done a great job and have made the most of the forest topography. It could just do with some bigger hills as the decents are over pretty quickly.
I've only rode here once and it was snowing, -2°c and I enjoyed it then. Looks awesome in the dry warm weather. I'm going to make the visit again in the next few weeks 🤘🏼
Not been for some time . Totally agree with the hope line . Was better with the big single drop off. And that corner needs taking out ..kills your speed 👍
Thanks mate. The place has changed a lot since this video. its become a little more family friendly. Which is not a bad thing. But for an experienced biker like your self who rides the trails you do up in Scotland. not sure this place would be challenging enough for you. More for newbies id say
Great video! Used this to get an idea of what there is down Gisburn, heading there tomorrow. Weather looks epic for you, meant to be abit damp tomorrow, adds to the fun
Stewart Summerside defiantly agree with you there Stewart. If anyone is new to biking or a little unfit it’s not the best place to start riding. I do enjoy the tech here. Makes up for the lack of speed
Looks awesome mate, I've just started riding again after 15 years out of the saddle. 40 young now and loving it all again. Me and a couples of mates were going to go today but one had to cancel (lift guy with van) Luckily I'm not too far away near Preston so WE WILL hit it soon
Trail-Finder I literally just spoke to my mate he said he's been loads, even camped over (with beers) haha. I just bought my bike a few weeks ago off my cuz for £100 It's only a Scott Aspect hard tail but it'll suffice for now. I fit a new pair of forks yesterday as the suntour ones were well buggered. I've not done anything serious yet as I'm still building my legs up again lol Luckily tho I have a very active job which I think that's kept me reasonably fit. I said to wife when I turn 39 and 3/3rds I'm getting a bike again Loving it just jumping off kerbs etc 😂 Take care bro and thanks for your reply. PS we're deffo going next weekend
Trail-Finder The frame is 18, always used to be my size yonks ago. I always preferred hard tails also 👍🏻 The price of some full suss now tho !!! Eeeek !!! 😂
you should go there again and go to the top of the mountain they got some REAL techy stuff. It made me almost crash looking at it and doing the red trail
Good run mate, was there Friday did 3 laps, shame much of the Forrest areas have now been felled, looks like a nuke has gone off in some sections, the trails still there but now feels weird.
@@TrailFinder Don't hate me, I was on my Ebike, I have a normal trail bike but don't get much chance to get down there so when I do I take the ebike so I can spend all day there and nail the 8. Did 66 Miles on Monday on my normal bike on the canal, training to do the 127 miles Leeds and Liverpool canal in a day. BTW you are a very fast rider the video makes it look easy but I know dam tricky in some areas, and your up hill technical climbing is fantastic well done mate.
Im going here tomorrow! Thanks for the video! Is this an ebike your using? This video is my favourite of the gisburn ones so thanks also that Hully Gully! Captured boss. The bit at the end were you coming into the corner at speed but stay on! 🤘🏻
@@TrailFinder Man this looked crazy fast to me & you say at the end its not the fastest haha. Do you have your seat slammed on the likes of hully gully & twisting through the trees? Sorry for the questions! I want to be faster!
@@TrailFinder Went last weekend, just watched your video and it brought me here. Been Delamere forest and Llandegla, looking for some other places to try. Loving being back on a bike. Great Videos, keep it up
How does this place compare to dalby forest...which can be one hell of a long slog...is gisburn a bit easier to manage if you're a bit of a fat knacker like me :)
Hi Dave. Gisburn is completely different. It’s a slow speed technical trail centre. And about 13 miles in total if you did everything. Dalby is 21 and cross country. Both are tough in there own way
@@TrailFinder love your vids and the coniston water is top of my list saved on Strava cos I love a view, can I ask a quick question, what's your best tyre, with winter round the corner I'm thinking magic Mary's but so many different opinions
