  • The Osprey Trail is Kielder's only blue grade trail, aimed at riders with only basic off road skills. It's also a journey through a beautiful and remote corner of Northumberland. If you're new to mountain biking, getting back in the saddle, or just want a relaxed ride, far away from the rest of the world, this could be the trail for you.

    I love this trail so much and i have from a young age, its just amazing and its the perfect difficulty for a blue. Even though ive moved on to riding red grade trails i will still come back to this even when im older, Anyway im so excited to watch this video

      I think it's a great trail. Ideal if you want to get out by yourself, when you don't have a mate to peel you off the ground when things go wrong. ;)

    Hill 361 is killer. It’s a surprising blue but I love it. Great ride.

      Think I've probably ridden it about a dozen times now. It's just nice to be out in the middle of nowhere.

    I rode this trail the other week. I was going to film one of the red trails, but hadn't emptied the sd card of footage and soon filled the card up! So I decided to ride the blue trail instead. I found it quite hard, that last long climb almost finished me off 😜 Nice singletrack, but as you say, far too much forestry road

    • @MeantforDescent
      @MeantforDescent  Před 3 lety +1

      I know what you mean. The climbs are physically demanding, but that's pretty much par for the course. Definitely too much fire road though. I was supposed to ride Deadwater again yesterday, but had a bit of car trouble. It'll be the next trail that I ride at Kielder, that's for sure.

      You could try the descents at Hamsterley. Polty's Last Blast, K-Line, Transmission, Accelerator and Nitrous, then Section 13, Special K and Brain Freeze. Take it easy the first time round and you'll be fine. I've got vids here...
