Fantastic. I want to go there. Looks good riding. What did you use to film this BTW?

dvatc

filmed using a ContourHD camera mounted on the frame. I've finally found how to upload good quality videos onto you tube so the next ones i put on will be better quality. best riding in the country in my opinion.

After watching those vids, I can see Inners and Glentress being my next trail centre visits.

Probably have to make a week of it for it to be worthwhile though (for me anyway).

dvatc

glad you like the footage, i'll be over there soon for the TT with my mtb, any good routes?
Whinlatter in the Lake District is another good place to ride, bit short though.

sweet!

We've got some pretty good riding, it's all natural stuff, no trail centres.

The local MTB club does a ride on a Tuesday and Thursday night, and another on a Sunday morning. They can be a bit hit and miss during TT though due to road closures etc.

Don't know if you know the course at all, but I live right on signpost corner. If you're staying in Douglas or the surrounding area, I'd be happy to meet up and go for a ride or 2 although looking at that footage, you're a fair bit faster than I am

I've got some videos of some of the riding near me (although the most recent one is Llandegla yesterday).

It's mostly rocky stuff, so tyre up accordingly

cool, love rocks and mud (living in the peak district theres no choice ).
staying in union mills tt week, may be able to meet up. depends how much spare time i have after bee r time

Union Mills is a good spot, for drinking, spectating AND riding.

Once you get over the fact you've just been assraped by the Steam packet for your ferry, TT is great.

As I say, drop us a PM if you do fancy it

Glentress is a great trail centre.... a few over rated bit but a good ride

Never ridden Inners... is tha the Dh track or the black xc route?

dvatc

so do i, instead of a 4.5 hour drive each way!
