Whinlatter Red Descent - Over The Hill Mountain Biking
I recently met up with an old friend that I hadn't seen in a few years and we decided to do the red route at Whinlatter. This is just the north loop descent. I was also trying out my new camera. The DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, which I have to say, is excellent!

Mabie Forest Descender Bender - Over The Hill Mountain Biking
Переглядів 1483 місяці тому
Descender Bender is a wonderful flowy section of the red route at Mabie Forest near to Dumfries in south west Scotland. Part of the famous 7 stanes trail centres. It features a couple of 'wall of death' style high bends that add to the overall fun descent. #mountainbiking #7stanes #mtb Hello my name is Tony and my channel is called 'Over The Hill Mountain Biking', and yes that's a play on words...
Great Asby Scar - Over The Hill Mountain Biking
Переглядів 993 місяці тому
You would be forgiven for thinking Great Asby Scar and surrounding area were in the Yorkshire Dales, but it is in fact in Cumbria (Westmorland) Narrow lanes and Limestone outcrops typify this ride. Never too technical, never too steep, this is a very pleasant ride. The only section I didn't like too much was riding through the fields around Asby, and the dozens of gates to open and close. But a...
Hartside From Kirkoswald - Over The Hill Mountain Biking
Переглядів 1044 місяці тому
I'd only ever ridden up Hartside on my road bike many years ago. This was the first time offroad as far as I can remember. I didn't want a difficult ride as it was my first time riding after busting my ribs up in Innerleithen a few weeks ago. I started the ride from Kirkoswald just to make the route a bit longer, but you could start closer to Gamblesby and make it shorter. There will always be ...

I didn't have a great ending to my day at Innerleithen trail centre. I crashed on a simple drop off and bust my ribs, hitting the trail and rolling down the hillside. Also half the trails were closed with diversions due to forestry work and storm damage. The trails I did ride were good, mind you there are some big drop offs that you'll need to be aware of though. I chose Innerleithen as I didn'...

Grizedale and Parkamoor Shorter Version Plus A Black Route
Переглядів 1796 місяців тому
A couple of videos ago I did the classic Grizedale and Parkamoor route. This is basically the same route at the beginning and the end, but with an easier, shorter middle section. On this version you missout on a fantastic descent, but you also miss out on a lung bursting climb. Also the track from Low Parkamoor to Satterthwaite is excellent, so it's a well worthy route.

The Garburn Pass is another classic Lakeland ride. The pass itself is hard, steep, rough, loose and techy and quite a challenge. The rest of the ride is shear pleasure. Starting and ending at Staveley, mid point between Kendal and Windermere. The Kentmere fells are a delight on bike or foot, and well worth a visit.

Grizedale And Parkamoor - Over The Hill Mountain Biking

Grizedale and Parkamoor is a classic Lakeland ride. I first rode this route in the late 80's and the last time was before I moved to France, probably late 90's. Nowadays we can utilise part of the North Face red trail to make it more entertaining. It's not an easy route, quite rocky with long steep climbs, but great fun with superb downhills that seem to go on forever. Unfortunately I went wron...
Loweswater and Lorton - Over The Hill Mountain Biking

I never thought I'd get to finish this ride. I abandoned the route twice, due to bad weather and a slit tyre. Schwalbe tyres are too soft in my opinion. The 'Big Betty' might be good for mud, but clearly not Lakeland rocks! I returned to my trusted Maxxis Minion to finish the ride. This is a seriously scenic ride in a quieter corner of the Lake District. Because I rode it in two separate rides ...
Hexhamshire Common - Over The Hill Mountain Biking

In this video I finally get to ride Hexhamshire Common. This is where I started to ride before Christmas when I had my heart attack. Essentially a moorland ride, it becomes quite hard and technical in its latter sections. Quite long at 33kms, and my 540wh battery very nearly ran out of power. There's a fair amount of climbing too, at just under 810m. Anyway I managed the ride without any health...

    Like the footage pal keep it up. Thinking of starting a channel myself and joining the community on UA-cam. Maybe local is whinlatter down the road where I pushing for fast times etc what do you use a go pro or dji osmo ?

    • @overthehillmountainbiking
      @overthehillmountainbiking 26 днів тому

      In my humble opinion, the DJI has always been better all round than the Gopro. Gopro has always been better in low light, but now the new Osmo 5 has a larger sensor and is as good in my opinion. Plus if you ever need it, the Osmo has a night function that blows the Gopro out of the water. Go check the comparison videos on UA-cam

You know some time ago i said that i was going to walk up the Ingleby Incline in the Cleveland Hills.. Well...did it on Tuesday gone and what a stunning spot. The climb up is 1 in 5 for a mile so nowt for you but I'd be blowing through me arse bu the end of it...10 /12 stunning miles of former mineral railway to Rosedale via Blakey Ridge all of it hugging valley tops I know you did a race up there about 1987 from Great Broughton Keep up the good work son...enjoy watching your exertions !! .

      Many thanks Sandee. I didn't know that John had a heart attack. I won't make a video, but I will support you all as always. Happy cooking sis 😀

    Great video thanks. I had a plan to ride this but clockwise which would you think would be the best way?

    • @overthehillmountainbiking
      @overthehillmountainbiking 10 місяців тому

      Thank you. If you ride it the same way as me, the descent is more technical than the other way round. Depends on how you like your downhills 🙂

    Hi Tony, Great video of the track to Monty's cottage! What e-mtb do you ride? Was impressed with how quiet and capable it was on some really shi**y sections! Thanks, Dave 👍

      Hi Dave and thanks for the compliment. I ride a YT Decoy 29. It has the EP8 motor. Never had any issues with it. The new versions have a 720wh battery. Mine has a 540wh one. I'm at the far end of a very long waiting list for the 720wh battery. In the meantime the 540wh is enough for all but the longest rides

    Don't do the full red Tony!!! Park at the grove, then head straight up to Poltys and do all 5 trails, from there go up to Section 13 etc then up to Pikes Teeth and after 2 wheels it spits you out ready for an easy roll to the car. All thriller, no filler!! You can of course start at the visitors centre but then you have to do the Grove Link to get all the way back

      I'm sure there are other more exciting routes to link up the best fed sections along with blacks, and that may be a video for the future. However this was just to show the full red route. I fancy doing the blacks next time I go

    • @bobthebimbler
      @bobthebimbler Рік тому

      I've met many people at the top of Poltys complaining about the long slog to get there following the red route, and that long climb up the horrible hill to Danny Harts was the main reason I got a ebike in the first place! Next time you go have a look at the skills loop (if its open), Pikes Teeth and Route 666 are definitely black routes, but the Grove Link is a nice cruise to start or finish your ride. Good to see you doing the bombhole on Special K. It took me months to build up to that, and now it's the only way I go!

    • @overthehillmountainbiking
      @overthehillmountainbiking Рік тому

      Yes it's a slog up to the top of Danny's climb. I could do it in boost, but stick to trail mode for a bit of a workout 😃 The only black I've ridden was Boneshaker, which wasn't too bad. Yeah first time riding the Bombhole. Looks worse than it is, like you I will always ride it now

      Nice video! I’ve not ridden Newcastleton. That red looks quite flowy. Looking to take my wife somewhere for her first red and that seems to fit the bill.

    • @overthehillmountainbiking
      @overthehillmountainbiking Рік тому

      Thanks, it's a fun trail. It's not technical at all. You park in the village square and ride up through an outward bound centre to get to it. There's a lot of forest road riding between the good sections though. It's never busy, unlike some trail centres. Enjoy

    Hey brother. Just checking in on your channel. I wish I knew how to ride a bike.. The views from your journeys are lovely ... Peaceful! I love the trees at 7:15 onward. Thanks so much for sharing. Sandee

      Hi Sandee @MyAjjisKitchen thanks for visiting. I haven't been very mobile lately as I had a nasty accident at work, with 5 weeks off as a result. It still hasn't healed fully and I'm still in a fair bit of pain at times. So no riding bikes for now unfortunately 😬 I hope you are well and good luck with the Portuguese collaboration
