Clun Timelapse: OS 28237744 & ~”Blue Remembered Hills”
BRH starts and ends in Clun, Shropshire. The first 15 miles (of 42) to Newcastle is shown.
BRH, in the two riders’ opinion(s), should STAY as a HORSE ride. Some bits were unrideable by bike, but MAYBE a haltered/ridden horse could have succeeded where we did not.
Mind you, this area’s quite heart-aching beauty and unethereal remoteness would make a modified version of this challenge a worthy one; when we were winning, we were… well… winning! 😉
Planning this? May this timelapse inspire. Completed it (how!)? Recall happy memories! Please mention what YOU look forward to (or enjoyed) the most. 🙂

Note: this timelapse is recorded at X15 speed. Today, HorizonSteady(ing) was used. This led to some jerkiness/stutters. Apologies. RockSteadyPlus will be used next time (again), which seems better.
