Yes last week after we left your place, one of Cornwalls best lanes. Best take the Pampera
There's a bridge if the water is up.

I thought you might have done...saw your tyre marks
I had a look at it, but chickened out as I was on my own and had just set out for a wander. I can see why you recommended trials tyres.

There are many more like that.... but worse, there are some lanes that I've never had a whole group make it to the top. Once I've changed to trials tyres on the new bike I'll be up for leading a Cornish day or two ride out.

I've just watched the video over lunch and realised the person leading asked for my advice on that route a few years back as part of a JOGLE run, I'm not so sure that a HP2 is the tool for the job even with Blez riding it.

I admit I laughed when I saw the BM, you could imaging the cylinders getting wedged between the banks! It would be like hanging picture hooks with a sledge hammer.
It must be a really old route, those banks are massive, and it's so atmospheric. I tried walking up, got so far and my boots were slipping about so much I turned back.
