    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.

    (thanks for that, Dave...do you think anyone will believe me )

    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 ! ).
