Is this trip still on, or is it in a flood zone?

The view from my camera.
Great fun day out.
All our new members can be proud of thier efforts.
Note to self:
both free wheeling hubs need to be locked before attempting a steep slippery hill :oops:
Dunno if thats on camera anywhere.
Look forward to some vids/photos from the others.

Wholey crap that river crossing at 4:30+ does not look "easy" rated.

I think I recognise the crossing, I think it was about 6 inches last time I was there..

Medium and/or hard bits can find there way into easy trips.
I made one hill harder by only locking one hub :roll:
