DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes takes a picture of another group of explorers he meets during his 'Coldest Journey' Antarctica expedition, having lost his compass and borrowed Dom's Garmin.

Hi Wes

The North Downs, somewhere near Leith Hill (somewhere round here) - in fact it may even be at the top of Leith Hill for all I know. I'm sure someone will put me right.

It was during the 'CamMTB AwayDay' a couple of weeks ago -this thread was about it,

Re: Caption Competition

I'll put you right Dom- it was actually Holmbury Hill.

So Wes, not a local hill which has eluded your search
