Part Two...
After a few more nice tracks and numerous bogs we finally got to the top, approximately 600m above sea level
The weather was crap, with hail and gale like winds battering us, but we'd been working so hard on the trails that it didn't really bother us
We hid behind the hill to shelter from the wind for a while, had a fag to boost our fitness and some chocolate to wash it down (hmmmm chocolate)
The view from here were great, though you can't see the distant mist covered mountains in the pics very well
After our rest we headed back down, my bike was running like a pig all the way, even after re-jetting for higher altitude it's still running crap so I'll have to get some tech support from BikeTech
When I got home I had to get the Mrs to hose me down as I was covered in mud all over my nice new Sinisalo enduro kit, which by the way did itself proud, it certainly does breathe properly unlike some other waterproof kit I've tried, it also seems to maintain a good temperature whether your working hard on grueling climbs or having a fag break, it didn't let in any water either except for when I put my hands in a very wet bog I was stuck in to lift my bike out and the water got down the cuff my hands were fekin freezing all the after that.
Yes, I know you thought after recent posts that this was my attempt at some arty black and white photography, NOT
I borrowed my daughters camera for the day as it's less expensive and smaller than mine, unfortunately it was in black and white mode, which I didn't dicover til I got home and viewed the pics.
