All right, we are on our way now to Haggley Park. Huggy, Haggley, Haggley. Look at the speed those cars are using on this road. Crazy. They were trying to look at that. They were trying to beat the red light and that was why they they rush with so much speed and we can go. So I think this traffic light is is a smart one that knows when. So that red light was caught by a pedestrian pressing the the button to get cars to wait for them to pass. And that traffic light has a camera that or a camera sensor that knows when the pedestrian has crossed the road. So as you saw as soon as the pedestrian cross the road it changed to green. So that was good. And we are approaching a roundabout. I’ll be taking my third exit and I’m on the road with the cars. So, let’s see how we can do this smoothly and right. And that’s it. So, we’re good. and we’ve gotten here to Hegley Park. It says open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but the gates are wide open and it’s 6:00 p.m. right now, but we are here and it looks good. I’ve spotted a white horse over there. I’ll um go down soon enough, but I’ll try zooming in digitally while editing. This is what this place looks like right now. And that’s the open field. There’s a horse here. It’s coming close to us. This terrain is made for fat tires. Yeah, I could have shy better road. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, is it like this throughout the area started from? You walk from the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. It’s going to be like this all the way. Wow. Do you like frequent this place? Yeah. Yeah. Very cool. Oh, awesome. Yeah. Trees. Wow. This is our first time here. That’s a little castle thing. Okay. Yeah. So, what you What’s What’s it named? It’s called the castle in the park. Let’s find the castle. So, we can try can try riding here. The castle is right here. But we can’t access it uh because it’s locked. We can access it during business hours. So when they’re open, we pay the entrance fee and see what how far we can see. But that’s the castle right there. It was built probably 300 years ago by a rich man according to what we were told just now. So this is quite steep, but let’s see if I can ride here. This road is built for mountain bikes. The only thing is I don’t know if we have to take the right now or just go straight. Maybe straight. the stones on the ground. I fear for my tires. That’s true. So that’s that’s something nice. Yep. And this is what we can see from here. If we were with just legs, we would have taken this direction and upwards up up up to get an even much better view from here. But yeah, we’ll have to go straight and let’s see. Let’s see what we can also still find by going straight. But it’s probably downhill from there. We’ll find out shortly. Oh, nice. Yep. We have a really nice view here. Oh, the trees on my left. So many trees. So nice. I should I feel like walking inside here. There are some people here. What does it say? Thank you. Okay. So, I think we can pass here and go and go there. Let’s try it. Let’s try it. The oldest tree on Clint. Nice. How old is it? 250 years. Wow. Which one? This one. The one behind. Yeah. Have you placed World Wars? Wow. It has been nested and survived both world wars since the coronation of 10 monarchs and waved at thousands of family who have made lasting memories in this shade. So which one exactly though? I think it’s this one. I think it’s this one right here. Probably this is part of the tree. Yeah. We ask that you are respectful of the beach tree and leave it where it is. Do not climb over the tree. Oh, as it is to Oh, is this one? This is it. Oh yeah, this one. Yeah. So this this is it. So it fell in 2023 due to wind and storm. So this is it. 250 years old. Wow. So that’s something or that’s another thing we’ve seen here. Okay. And let’s continue. A journey a journey uphill. Nice, nice, nice, nice. And we’re here and you can look down onto the city from up here. So that’s something really cool. Yep. I think I think this is the peak now. This I think this is the peak and we are here. Nice. So can see a much better view here from here. And there we go. This makes the ride worth it. Look at look at the beautiful view around me. Nice. The view is lovely. The view here or the view from here is quite lovely. It’s a lovely one. It’s a beautiful one. You should come here. This stone was erected by the Rotary Clubs of Stal. Is that stri? I’m not sure. And right at the center it says magnetic north. North viation. So this is what we have. This is it. Hello. How are you? Hope you’re good. No, I think a boat for Idris tire, his front tire. Um, it pulled off off the bike. I have to also keep close closed eyes on the bikes. There’s a dog barking at me over there. Yeah, that’s all right. Footage. It’s all right. And this is like 30 minutes later and we couldn’t find it. So, we’re almost on the road and once we get there, we should be able to do an Uber for Idris and Hello. Hello. Wow, that’s that’s a steep a steep downhill. This road is made for the legs now. I wouldn’t even say mountain bikes anymore cuz look at what we have here. So this one right now is made for legs. So this is stairs and we are carrying our bikes down. I’m not Paulo. But another day, another day, another Paul. That’s just not Paul. Thanks, man. Bye. Heat up here. This is our way back downhill which is quite the opposite of our ride here which was uphill. So although this has so many corners so I had to stay close to my brake as well cuz there are so many bends but then it’s fun. It’s good. It’s good riding here. and uphill now. All right, one hour later, still on the road. Um, but David and I have parted ways now. And he’s a parted ways and he’s taking his route home. And well, I have a little light here. Although it’s dark, but there’s an electrical light there. And it’s dark again. But just wanted to quickly end the video here. It’s been a very lovely ride. I’m on a cycle route or a cycle path right now, but it’s been a lovely, lovely, beautiful ride in spite of the the hiccup with Adri’s bike and me being very hungry because wo okay didn’t realize that that was an edge. So, me being very hungry because I’ve not eaten since morning and this is um approaching 1000 p.m. but it’s been a beautiful ride and yeah, thank you for watching.
