    Considering that cameras flatten out the terrain, I'm guessing it was pretty damn steep!

    sort of. I sort of contorted around the tree enough for it not to hurt too much. I was lucky the way I hit it that my body could bend around it, if it'd been an arm or a leg it would've hurt :lol:

    You're literally a tree hugger, lol. Looks like the back just lost grip and lowsided you?

    It was actually the front wheel. Just started to wash out on the wet mud and off I went lol

    My eyes must be deceiving me. I watched it a few times and thought the rear let go first.

    I've just watched in super stop start motion lol, I can see why you think that. ben brakes in front of me so I hit the rear brake, it's locked up and skidding slightly, then the front washes out :D

    Nice. I have woods and moorland near me, despite living in a built up area. Can do a 25 mile loop door to door with only about half of a mile on tarmac.
