    Nice pic of Swinley, needs more singletrack though.

    Not a fantastic pic but it makes me look fast :lol:

    Top of Deliverance, a horrible rooty, loose roll-in, with extra bumps at the bottom that you can't see from the top.

    And the beginning of the first ride with my new bike, guess which one it is :roll:

    Thanks guys - you could have done a bit of photoshopping on my gut first.

    Peter, that Glentress looks like a proper boutique trail center with all trimmings. Suppose you do enjoy table tops.

    Never ridden doubles, but you have it good in Scotland. Closest trail center to me would be probably few hours drive to SWales in Cwmcarn. I really love that place and it's -Airstream- trail for playing thingz. Must visit that place again as it had a gentle revamp.

    There's some nice, and cute shots in there, but this wasn't conceived as a thread for "snapshots".

    I'd have said the top and bottom pics were fine, but really the others are just any old shots.
  • Louis1985, that 1st pic is amazing, it'd make a fantastic poster / mag shot if you got a rider to do the bridge with that backdrop. Stunning. The next shot is a cracker too.

    Here's a pic from my parents (63 and 57yrs) doing a epic ridgeline loop. It's a picture that really does paint a 1000 words for me, they've been biking for 5 years or so now and seeing them knocking out this monster ride was fantastic.

    Yes both of the first two pics have been in WMB magazine. I'm well pleased with how they turned out, the first pic doesnt look real, it looks like it's been photo shopped, but it hasn't.... :wink:

    I think it's somewhere above Llandudno, for some reason.

    (something about that coastline makes me think so anyway)

    On top of the Cerro de Cabeço de Cãmara in the Algarve this morning. Watching the rising sun quickly burn away a thin layer of low cloud befor enjoying a "spirited" descent. Not the best photos but a great place to get away from it all on a short solo ride....

    I was there last weekend (Hiking though) up via striding edge and back down via swirrel edge

    It was the first mountain I ever climbed/hiked when I was 6 and since then Ive probably been up 20 times. Completely in love with it!

    Well its at the far end of Glen Meann which is the second part of the Glen Finglass route. You dont actually head for Balquidder, thats definitely a walkin path. The track you can see snaking off in the distance is where you come from and then its UUUUPPP. Hope this helps. The route itself starts at the Glen Finglass forrestry car park near Brig o' Turk.
