looks nice but busy. I don't normally ride weekend because of this.
Thanks for the video
Yeah Darren it has been quite busy when we have visited, not too busy, but busy all the same :)
Enjoyed that thanks.
Glad you liked it Mike, and thanks for the comments and feedback.
I rode it for the first time last summer (clockwise) and quite enjoyed it. The inclines were steep enough that I had to walk the Uni up a few of them lol.
Biggest issue I had was that the start of the route from the car park is (or was) poorly signed. There's lots of paths going various places and I had to search for a sign telling me where the loop ride started.
Hi, Jim, I guess the unique nature of the Unicycle might make the inclines more difficult than it would be for us on bicycles so I can definitely sympathise there. If you notice we also had issues picking up the first part of the circular route, we started heading towards the pay ground and ended up turning across the grassed area to get on the "real" route. great route despite these minor issues though :)
Cycle Routes Glad I'm not the only one who had that issue lol
I plan on going back sometime this summer and riding it anti-clockwise 😊
I never got round to riding it the other way round last year. This coming Tuesday I hope to correct this lol
Nice video! Keep it up!
Do you use strava for your rides
Hi Duncan, yes, we do use Strava for many of our rides, and we post a link to the specific outing in the video description.
Yeah I use Strava to for my rides
I'm surprised you aren't shouting stay to your left !!.
