We have all done it why did I go up hear this lane is a near no go in the winter but after seeing Brian's vid a month back of Dandy Lane  I was thinking I would give it a go and hay ho it's summer cant be that wet it's about 18 months since my last go on it and that was down hill well up hill took me near half an hour to get half mile we did have a bit of rain in the week but it was like a bog pit it just stuck to the bike had to pull the bike from rut to rut push pull and take two fag brake's and sit down for a brake afterward's i

cut short vid

What an uphill struggle, it's much easier downhill - even I've done it downhill! biggrin

It somehow seems to retain (or attract) wetness.

Well done.

Martyn

Run off from a field or nearby natural springs etc and the moisture just doesn't bugger off. Its funny how some lanes get treacherously impassable. The ones with crazy sinking mud are the worst, before you know it you end up a couple of foot down!

Great video Martyn! I was willing you on to get to the top. Well done for doing the lane upwards. Shame that vids don't actually show how steep the lane is in parts.

Good work out for both you and the TTR eh?  biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

It's certainly a lane I will avoid in the future if out for a gentle bimble no

Brian

PS That Oxforshire mud doesn't look inviting either Dominic!

We had a similar track here in Australia we named the MUD MILE. We would leave it till the last track to ride on for the day as to save the lubed chain and i guess for being wet to early in our ride.
