    Aston. Got the full face then? I'd recommend it if not! Though main injuries I got last time I went there were from frequently crashing onto my ribs. Didn't notice the pain until I tried to drive home though.

    The XC trail is quite nice, even if there's not much XC.

    I'm planning on the XC and spectating while the youngsters provide the entertainment and blood.

    Basically a localish trail centre type place. They have a website if you wanna google it. We're meeting up there at 12. Costs £8ish to get in.

    Was good fun. Stan, Adrian and I did baby slopes, except for an excursion (wrong turning) down a nasty bit.
    The heroes (thel33ter, supraman and bungalistic) did the interesting stuff.
    Couple of tiny offs (Adrian and thel33ter argued with some baby trees) but otherwise all good.

    Anyone else wanting to escape the mass tv coverage this friday.

    Happy to travel (resonable distanses) - will keep an eye on thread, seem to keep missing the decent trips through lack of checking.

    Sounds like fun was had at aston.

    Cheers

    Aston was great fun, big bikes make sense there, the tracks are great , good training for alpine stuff.

    I ll probably be in aston on friday with some others. goin to get dh lessons.

    and we had talked of cwm carn with cool dad as a possibility. at some point in the weekend.

    Cooldads is becoming a hero too. 8)

    oh and for first time I saw thel33ter out of breath.

    but before all that i need brakepads...

    Probably up for something local Friday or Saturday. Maybe further afield Sunday or Monday. Depends if thel33ter can escape for a bit.

    I can get out on Monday.

    Aston was great, Much steeper and knarlier than most of SH.

    The push up was stupidly tiring, especially with my short legs and heavy bike :lol:

    Hello all,

    Whos up for what on Friday?

    would love to venture to Aston Hill but may be a little hungover for that.

    Anyone fancy Swinley??

    What about the rest of the weekend, any plans?

    I'm wandering around TH on Friday with my school on Duke of Edinburgh, busy the next two days. But then Monday there is talk of a trip to Cwm Carn/Cannock, but more likely to be Cwm Carn as it is an hour closer.

    400 sq metres isn't really that much luckily. Actually surprised they got to it before it burned more than that.
