Ok,Ok Lord Vader caught me trying to ride my bike up a tree....and then later he found me lying underneath it (the bike - not the tree).
It must have been the soft sand, or maybe the Trailwings, perhaps even the viscosity of the lube oil; it certainly couldn't have been anything I'd done![]()

A little tip for you that I found has really helped over the years.
Try to go round tree's not up them. Its a long way up and as you found bikes are not good at climbing trees.Unless of course you get special tree climbing tyres.
I think we should all write to our MP's and demand that all tree's are cut down on health and safety grounds. I mean where will it all end?
Forum help and advice needed?

Ahem, yes that's what I was doing - seeing if Trailwings are any good for tree climbing. After all they're F*** All use at going along the flat.Originally Posted by DaveS
(thanks for that, Dave...do you think anyone will believe me)
vader was telling me about your exsploits on the phone he said somthing about admireing your tenacity and said he thought you would get to the top if it wasnt for that bit of SAP halfway up that caused a loss of gripOriginally Posted by Von Short Hausen

Despacio. Hay m'as tiempo que vida
Bleeding typical, it all went wrong about 400 yards from the end. I was doing fine on the mud, slopes & puddles - but when we got onto the soft dry sand I just couldn't control my back end.....Oh Matron !
And I think now I'm going to have to plead the 5th ammendment, the more I say the dafter it makes me look (so no change there then !).
