    It was a great day out mate. Nice to have a couple of camera angles on the water stuff. Also, great pub choice. Good beer, food and company finished of the day nicely. I'll sort a Norfolk/Suffolk ride in the new year as well as the Dorset one again.

    Looks like an awesome ride through there. I'm definitely recognising some of the spots from previous videos now after seeing them a few times. The fact that these trails exist for you guys in such a populated country is awesome. There was a few technical spots on there for sure!
    All the faffing about definitely escalates with more people in the group. I even see that at work. Simple things add a minute or two here and there and all of a sudden the course takes 30 minutes longer than it should have. What an absolutely brilliant day!

    • @HippoDrones
      @HippoDrones  6 днів тому

      It was a cracker, shame we had to cut some of the ride short... especially when there was no need to do so as the car park stayed open a few hours longer than I realised.
      We are very lucky, I do wish we were able to use more of the trails we have though, we have 140,000 miles of trails in the UK, but we are only allowed on 6,000 miles of them and lose more and more each year.
      That last one was a bit much for some of the groups experience, but I think they all had fun still 🙂
      Hahaha... herding cats springs to mind. Some of the group def liked to chat, where others were more happy just riding, but in a group you are always going to get that.
      I'm hoping to get on some of the other Tuareg group rides led by other members, if the timings allow for it, be nice to be led rather than lead too
