Cornwall - A S*L*A*P*P*E*R is born!!!

What a good day! Nice to meet up with you all, not a bad little site, must do it again soon!! Spot on about trying it all with the D3, very glad the 110 made it up the hill though!!! (slight redemption for spending an hour earlier being the most stuck thing in Cornwall!! - amazin that 3 of us couldn't pull it out - even two in series couldn't, that's well stuck!)

Will post a coupla pics later, but ain't got any particularly good uns - just lots more of a stuck 110 it seems!

Next time Trewy, it's the hill for EVERYONE!!!

All the best
OD

Right, tryin videos now.

First off, I forgot the video camera, so had to use me phone. I didn't know that it would only take 20sec clips, so a lot of them are no good
Also, the quality aint good - sorry peeps.

First one is DaveT Disco3 gettin it muddy.

Enjoy!

Yup, that was fun!
Good to meet those that I hadn't met before, and catch up with those I had.

The hill. It was going up just fine, but MrsT wasn't very happy about me going any further

Good to see that the photo's & video missed me getting 'temporarily immobilised!! (deliberately I might add)

Now how do I upload / post photo's on this forum?

easiest way is to host em on Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and copy and paste the links in your posts.

or go advanced and click on "manage attachments"

Well I've found the avatar doofer, and tried upsquirting some pics but it crashed. I'll fiddle with the bucket in a bit.
Ta.

The avatar is just a little picture next to your username. when you make a post click go advanced and then click manage attachments. But there is a limit to the size of file you can post. the easiest way is to have all your pics on a site like photobucket, and copy and paste the link from there.

Yh was a good day were have to go down there again next month or somthin. Its a shame that me in micheal couldnt find those lanes that we took on the way there they were good. I think that bogs a bit of a no go area. That hillis a gd laught to go up and theres another one on the opisite side to it. its easy to get down

Have now had a fiddle with the bucket and hopefully have the following to offer... (pooter numpty alert! )

Charles coming down the very steep bit!

Did you get down the one the other side in the end then??

The map shows hundreds of little lanes like those we took to get to the site down there, i explore a couple a week but it might be worth doing a few miles of em a month if we're going to make Baldhu a regular thing, the site's only so big!

Maybe if we go down again in a couple of months, the "bog" will have dried out a bit!

Thanks Pikey, it was a great day and really good to meet up with everyone! Unfortunately my phone (the video!) ran out of memory coz the card i bought was crap so hopefully will try and get some more videos next time (Trewy got some good uns!) but the camera (a proper one, not a phone one!) didn't come out as much as i was hoping, must try harder next time!

Yh th other side is a bit steeper and rutted but we did it. Were have to spend half a day some time pottering around looking for them.

I still reckon it was do-able, maybe from the other side, i just think the Kicker experience put everyone off it a bit! It would probably be easier if you were being pulled out by your own winch! (as opposed to someone elses)

Kicker, the other side looked mean - what do you reckon to geting UP it?

good pics guys - looks like a good day.

not many pics of the "old man" tho
