Had arranged during the week to meet my mate Jason for a spot of green laning on Sunday. We met up at the usual spot and after a quick chat decided to take a slow ride as my knee was still playing up and he was suffering from falling off his push bike pissed up at 2am this morning
We set off and as per usual the slow pace lasted all of 1/2 mile,i'm leading a Jason keeps showing me his front wheel so i think fook this and were off
Pull up for fuel,were both knackered and decide to go for a full English late breakie and call it a day after.
While scoffing egg's ,bacon,sausage,tom's fried bread and bread and butter washed down with milky weak tea Jason tells me about a disused quarry that's been shut up for the last 5 years,the entrance is fence'd off but he's found a way in round the back
So feeling rather bloated we head off to the secret quarry..........absolutely awesome and we got the lot all to ourselfe's,it an off road rider's paradise evidently a trials club rent it out a few time's a year for competitions. There's jumps a plenty
XR side stand after colliding with a boulder.
Jason's climb,it was bloody steep! i chickened out

Jumping something i did'nt manage at Cadwell with more BHP
We were both on old Honda XR 400's old heavy agricultural machinery acording to some

Got into Leicestershire after the usuall 30 odd mile cross country competative tussle only to find that some do gooder's from the council had authorised the levelling of the best 3 mile muddy/rutted section through a wood in the area, and stoned it up all the way through it's so far off the beaten track that it make's no sense at all.
We decide to head back into Lincolnshire and suss out another disused quarry that we had located off the map. It turned out to be quite small but mile's from anywhere so no chance of getting rumbled for tresspassing
Jason's straight on it attacking the steep slope's like the wall off death that you see at Skegvagas in summer,the bloke's got no fear me ....well i give it a go eventually after loads of slagging off but dont get nowhere near the height of Jason the bastid. Then on the next section i really cock it up,ending with the bike perched on a ledge with the engine still running but without me:oops:
I've got off the bike as it was stuck on the bash plate and tried to free it,then lost my footing and slipped down the slope.Jason's pissing himself laughing but has managed to capture it all on video
I decide the best place for me is behined the camera off the bike,and get a few decent shot's of Jason making it look easy
He did fook up though and i got it on film
Luckily for me Jason's a bigger spaz than me when it come's to downloading video footage and pic's onto a computer so hopefully my fook ups will never be seen
The return journey was even more competative than earlier with me trying to salvage some pride and stay in front
The bike's stood up to the challenge yet again apart from an exhaust bracket shearing off on my bike which i'll get welded up this week,but now just waiting for the weekend to come back round

Camera stayed tucked away as i mounted my video,got mile's of footage but a lot is marred by the lens being covered in mud most of the time footage show's us being considerate to dog walkers (slowing down) and catching a couple of pony n traps round a bend which brought the anchor's on sharpish.
Also came across a couple of KTM's and a 426WR Yam who were negotiating a slippery slope up through the woods,they thought it was quite difficult
Very short sample of the day
