    Hi buddy, I don't know if you remember but a few months ago I commented on one of your videos about considering getting into adventure biking and having learnt that we live close to each other, (I live in Rhydymwyn), hoped that maybe I could join you on a ride. Long story short, I've finally bought a suitable bike today and wondered if we could find a better way to communicate than in the KZread comments so I could tag along riding one day if that's okay?

    the camera will never show the trail for what it is and for those that don't know it, go try it - it is a proper well done for you lads getting through on the big guns - you boys deserve massive respect. I enjoy this lane on my 500 and it is ridden much quicker but there is no way i would take one of these down here, fair play - i took a massive digger on that long slimy slab 2 weeks ago where you lost the front but i was not so lucky and landed hard and fast on the rocks to the right OUCH and it took a few minutes to even stand, a black leg from balls to knee and only just getting back to colour

Wonder if can print a cover or something. Side stand off drill the hole and tap a new bolt?
