You know, it’s probably doable. We spoke to, so I’m going to go that way. Well, hello everyone. I’m bringing Dan out for a ride. He’s just come back from a week in Croatia on the lash. He’s still feeling fat and hung over, so I was prepared for him struggling, but I wasn’t prepared for what happened. We’ve come to have a quick look at Healey Nab mountain bike trails. Assume they’re local made. It’s not very big course, but it’s quite nice. You get here down a lovely little bridal way from Rivington. We’re only going to stay for a few minutes. Just have a look around. Pretty groovy and it’s got a lovely view of the coast. Oh wow, these are really cool. Very well put together and be a great place to come and just practice various skills. What a lovely spot. I got I’m moving now. I was going to take down through White CPUs and then up over the hill to Belmont Road and then loop back over the mass, but that didn’t happen. Turns out the dam on Moore Road has collapsed and that causes all kinds of confusion. There’s like a vertical edge that’s going to come up. Yeah. How much you charging them? So, I mean, it’s like washed away cuz the gun is weren’t working. There you go. Hey, Dan. See, that’s what it’s all about. Nice chat. Lovely fella. You stopped us from going down the road and uh we asked him a question about the dam and we were there for 10 minutes and we found out how dams are built. Is this old school England enough for you? It looked like it was open, but he said it was blocked off at the other end. Well, a bit later on, we’ll find out whether he was telling porkies or not. What old Victorian engineering? I don’t think we can go where I wanted to go. Just been talking to the guy and the dam’s collapsing. Got it all cordoned off. This is what caused me the confusion. I thought it was some dam that had blocked the footpath, but it was actually the tarmac roads. and we’ve already gone past them. So, it just made me a bit worried to set off over there and find we had to turn back. We stopped off there for second breakfast consisting of Dan’s homemade ham salad wraps and strawberry cheesecake. Hello. Lovely view. Damn. There was a house up here. Love it. Hard going. Hard going. We’re debating what to do. Let’s go that way back down to Brinskll. That’s it. Brinskll or to carry on over there and make our way over to the masts. I think it’s getting a bit dull. It might rain. I’m going to go that way. Oh, fell off. Okay, we’re headed to Brinskull cuz we’ve had enough of the wet mud. At the end of this trail, there’s a lovely waterfall, but I’m not sure if I can find it. This is a lot more difficult than it looks. There’s lots of nasty edges which are totally wash out your front wheel, resulting an insta face plant. Sorry, I was uh using a drone. Can you hear it? Yes. I bought the proper controller for the Neo. I’m using it without the phone, so I’m just flying blind by sight really. It’s doable. And the best bit about it is you just turn the drone on, you turn the controller on, and they connect in seconds and you’re off flying. And somewhere around here is the way down to the waterfall. It’s here. Yeah. It’s not exactly Niagara Falls, but you’re getting there. Oh yeah. Obviously with a bit of rain it’d be quite impressive, wouldn’t it? Yeah. See how far it goes down there. You can’t beat moss covered stone walls, can you? Is this the best time of year to come down these? Love it. What a gorgeous tree. No, keeps going down. I’m actually struggling to remember where I am at this point. I’m just waiting for something to pop up than I remember. ha. Yes, this is it. The magic trail. Call it the goat. Welcome to charge ride magical soothing EMTB simulator. Just sit back and relax as your bicycle glides through the scenery. Using simulated rock shock suspension using the latest AI technology, we will transport you into soothing pleasure. There is no need to be worried about that fallen. Oh, hang on. use is this. Oh dear. The virtual suspension is failing. You’re on your own, Buster. That’s challenging. The problem is I’ve got 170 mil travel up front. It’s too much. It bounces you off balance going over rocks. [Music] Jesus, put all these here. Oh jeez. How long do I wait before going back for him? You know what? S it. I’m walking this bit. You know, it’s probably doable, but not today. I’m going to try more speed, but with more speed becomes more consequence. Oh yes, it’s all coming together now. The faster you go, the easier it is. Nothing can go wrong now. It’s the sound of the police. Okay. Oh, just about to go back for him and he appears. Perfect. We spooked too soon. Are you okay before I film it? Wind. That was so mad. You know why? Because you saw the end. Your thumb. Chris, get out of it. Really? Last time I felt like that was when I went motocross with Brian. Nice. I’ve got it on video. You did say you okay with coming down here. Here’s why you fell off. Your front wheel isn’t really completely straight with the handlebars. Dan’s a bit knacked, but he’s going to brave it. Picturesque is this. It’s like out of a constable painting. Okay, right at the end of this path, we’re going to find out if that dam builder guy was fibbing or not. You seem like a genuine fella to me. What do you think? Well, we should see a wall here cuz the guy said the other end is blocked off and we’re at the other end. And he’s not lying. Bloody hell. Doing some work there, aren’t they? Put some equipment. He wasn’t lying. Yeah, bloody hell. It really has had the water load and all plants are growing in it. That’s actually the water for Liverpool, he says as he was peeing in it. Oh dear. Dan might have broken his thumb. I’ll have to say for someone who thinks they’ve broken their thumb, he’s doing a hell of a speed down this road. or is he just trying to make up for falling off a lot? Dan’s getting away with me by being more aerodynamic. I’ll have to say something. Dan has crashed so many motorbikes that just by pure chance, I was there watching him getting put into the ambulance twice. wasn’t with him. I wasn’t following me anywhere. I just happened to be out in my car. Hey, has someone gone through this in the car? I think so. Yeah, it looks more like that than I don’t see any tire marks or any locked wheels going down. Yes, there’s the reservoir. very low. But second thoughts, I have seen it lower than that. Hey, you’ve be seen it at least two or three days. Dan’s hand is really starting to throb. In fact, I can see the van there. End of the ride. Crash into a car. Yep, it slims pretty bad, so we’re going home. But he messaged me later to say that it was feeling a lot better. So, panic over. Thanks for watching. See you next week. You’re on your own, Buster.
