  1. I think my fear comes from actually hitting the transition itself and so I just roll into it a few times to try get my mind around it.
  2. You right, it is in the mind. I can do it, I will do it....at some point. If I just go in at speed and hold on, I should come put alive...haha
  3. Gap jump in the forest that I'm trying to gain the courage to do. Right now I just roll up to it and think "F$ck no"..lol
  4. Ladybower, Peak District...Amazing. Brutul rocky climbs but descends and views well worth it.
  5. It's getting a tad cool in the mornings but such an awsome morning it was.
  6. Lol...ok Mr Rother ????

  16. Nice ride through the local woods, on route to hit the trails at Rother Valley.
  17. I had just bought these same wheels a while back and they really great value for money. A really nice wheel set and have had no issues so far. Enjoy.
  18. Stunning Morning...theres that uplifting feeling as the weather changes.
  19. My Dad was a Commercial Captain that flew for Air Mauritius and Lufthansa Airlines. Guess how he met my Mom? She was an Air hostess...lol.
  20. Started out as a lekker morning spin around the forest with a little skills practice, with focus on rear wheel lifts. Got it wrong and got a few scratches which made the pedal home not so much fun.
  21. Such a nice ride today. Misty Autumn morning at Parkwood Springs. The rustling of the leaves falling through the trees, squirrels scouring around and just so tranquil.
  22. I've dealt with the Landlord a good few times and he's very nice and open to things being fixed. I'm one of those that will treat it as my own and never get stuck into anything that requires a heavy amount of work or needs a professional, but get what you saying. I drilled into a radiator pipe in the lounge wall (stupid place to run it as its a perfect spot for pictures) and water pissed out everywhere and down the wall onto the kitchen ceiling that left a large water stein. Told the Landlord and he advised of things i can do myself to fix it so hes open to those sort of things. All i want to do is cut a small piece of ceiling away to see what the issue is and if its a simple fix or requires a professional.
  23. The Top floor has a Roof access but only to the top ceiling. The second floor has no access because is really a floor rather than a ceiling so the only way i can see to get access is to try cut a square out and see what if i can see what the issue is. As we are renting, it would be the Landlords responsibility but i would rather try myself to see if i can find the issue and fix it and then whatever cost i incur will pass on to the Landlord rather than get someo-one at this point. If i need to get someone out then will discuss with the Landlord.
  24. We rent a 3 level house in the UK where there is no access to the ceiling on the second floor. When the central heating is on, there is a dripping noise that sounds like it comes from the corner of our bedroom that is on the second floor and i have no means of accessing it. Assuming there is just wooden beams with ceiling boards and no way of actually getting into it. Now there are water pipes from the radiators that flow through the house and i suspect on of them goes through the ceiling making a noise, perhaps it bangs on something while water gushes through it. I say this because there is no damp on the ceiling at all to suspect a water leak but its a definitive drip sound. Perhaps its dripping on the beam and doesn't make it way to the ceiling board, i don't know. Its quite annoying as you hear it very well and its only when the heating comes on. Any idea how i can see what it could be? Maybe just cut out a piece of ceiling in the spot i think it is?
  25. Not the best pics but extracted these from a video, but also because i was going to fast This was Grenoside Woods, Sheffield. Really enjoying this place. Get a little more confident but there is some really big stuff there. Steve Peats playground.
