Yup, will post up.

The first one was taken looking back up the trail from my waiting point.
the second was taken from the same point looking down the trail and down into the gully where the offending chain link had tried to make it's early exit.
Pretty steep drop down but still fun in the mud.

It's been a while but I think I recognise that lane - near Tipton St John?

I'm gonna start getting out again soon so need to re acquaint myself with those lanes.

somewhere between Honiton anad Ottery.



i could hear the banjos playing in the wind..............

Dumpy bag lane I call it but now chain breakerv

Yeh, that chain looked proper chewed up.
Did a stone get caught in there?

We need to repeat this lane, both directions Bring a spare chain though

Yes, it's the one I was thinking of. That lane has changed so much over the years.
One time (maybe 8 years ago) the drop off was so steep I actually laid my bike down on it's side, gave it push and let it slide down the wall, then I dropped down on to it and carried on riding down the lane.
Riding up it wasn't an option then as the step was too high & steep.

We can certainly try might wait for a dry day or at least 3/4 people to help pull and push

Whichever the circumstances are we need to show this lane who`s the boss! We`re losing 0-1 now.

Just a couple of pics.
