    It looks like Derbyshire CC have been busy since I was last out. A few of the routes have been graded and are now little more than gravel tracks. No ruts, rock steps or "interesting" bits. Boo!

    Yes thinking back to 1990's trail riding days out the modern version is a poor show. I recall coming to bogs in 3rd and then giving it all to fire it onto the bank at the other side lol.....
    Tow straps and a length of rope with two or three of us towing our guts out.

    Once got refused admission to a pub on a sunday dinnertime as one of my mates had filled me in :rolleyes: after I'd let him catch me up :joy::joy::joy:

    Thought I'd get the Berg back on the (off)road ready for Winter after being SORNED for over 5 months:). The Triumph seems to be hogging all my riding time lately!:joy: A valve service and general fettle, tax and good to go. It's quite a lump as Enduro bikes go but I'd forgotten how light and nimble it is compared to the Triumph, with similar power.

    A nice quiet late Summer's evening on a deserted Sir William Hill near Bretton repeater.

    Same again at Dirtlow Rake.

    Dusk on Abney Moor.

    Didn't see a single hiker all evening, they must all be in the pub!

    Edit.....
    Why is resizing or editing photos on this forum such a PITA?

    Nice edit to number plate, very wise especially on off-roaders @Pegscraper as there's always someone out to spoil your day one way or another :worried:

    There was the plate, plus I tried to resize the pics in the post as they were huge but for some reason, editing pics in existing posts seems to be impossible. Even deleting individual photos and reloading them doesn't work, the only thing that does is deleting the whole post and reposting. This is on an Ipad with Safari, maybe it's some incompatibility issue?
    Anyhow, back to the green laning, I forgot to mention a couple of routes are still closed for "repairs". I came past one of them on the Triumph some months back, a nice track on a hillside on some farmland and there was a group of 4x4's going up, 3 abreast making a right fekin mess in the process, encroaching into the adjacent field and mud flying everywhere. No wonder people complain and routes get closed. :mad:
    Rant over, enjoy your riding!:grinning:

    Agreed, I had the same photo issues on a Samsung S20 and a laptop so not just an Iphone issue.
    PITA.

    Left early this morning to visit An Lochan Uaine (The Green Loch) just outside Aviemore, first stop was at Newtonmore for a tasty breakfast
    20220913_102659.jpg

    The Green loch is on the road up to cairngorm ski resort, you turn off just past Loch Morlich up by the reindeer centre, it's just over a mile walk through stunning scenery

    20220913_122522.jpg

    the photos don't really show the true colour of the Loch, it reminded me of the water in Canada, it was stunning and well worth a visit if your up in Aviemore

    climbed up the very steep hill a bit for this photo

    view back towards Aviemore

    i did a little detour to visit Loch Garten as I'd never been on the road before

    Thanks, it was a brilliant run today , I stuck the panniers on my bike so I could store all my bike gear while I walked up to the loch

    Finally got out on the ditchpump today and decided to go to Elan Valley to see how much water was left for the brummies. Not a lot by the looks of things. This bridge goes to Claerwen dam and the small dam underneath is there to allow water extraction for the brummiegum pipeline
    20220913_121823.jpg

    If you look at the left hand side of the bridge the white linas are where the water usually is and this is the first time I've ever seen the small dam which is usually under water. It's not looking good upstream either
    20220913_122726.jpg

    And at the top dam it's a similar picture

    20220913_123826.jpg

    Ah that's better.....

    20220913_123846.jpg

    It's going to have to rain a lot in Wales this winter to fill those back up

    I took my meteor out to a bike shop to look at a Moto Guzzi V7 (850 Stone). It was a lovely mid september day sunny in the low 20's. My new mesh jacket was on the edge of comfortable, I suppose it'll get put away until next summer soon. I had a seat on the V7 and I seem to fit it well, I've read reviews saying their knees were up by their ears, I now know they are misshapen human beings, probably. Next step I guess is to book a test ride.
    I've always had a soft spot for Guzzi's but have never ridden one. I like the idea of shaft drive and miss my old BMW R100S which like this was air cooled and shaft drive. I'm not in a rush as I'll be trading in my Trophy which I'm not using much now that I own the meteor.

    me and Mrs D went a run today and stopped off at Cultybraggan Camp on the outskirts of Comrie. It was first used as a POW camp for Italians and Germans during WW2 and was used by the military up to 2004. It now belongs to the Comrie Development Trust, bought through a community right-to-buy option for £350,000 in 2007. they have 6 Nissen huts that have been converted to holiday lets with more to follow. various businesses use other huts
    20220916_115924.jpg

    they also have a small museum and cafe

    Not sure if this thread includes non motorcycle use but a motorhome is a non-Triumph right?

    Youngest and myself out for the weekend at Olivers Mount Scarborough for the road racing.

    Nice to see an ex MOD site being put to good use instead of just bulldozed and built on! :)
