Ambergate 18th October
So Ambergate is somewhere I have only ever visited once before, back in May with Jeff . Ambergate is often compared to Wharncliffe, but I feel it offers something slightly different. The hill for one is nowhere near as steep or as big as Wharncliffe so the tracks offer a generally less intimidating proposition.
I lost count of just how many riders there were out but at there were at least 15 people i would say, a couple of people i had met before such as the dog man, and Eamon and many new people. Sorry i cant remember many of your names. Anyway this was the first time out with my new Nikon D40 Camera, i bit of a steep learning curve but i am please with quite a few of the shots so something to build on. The Camera itself if awesome.
This section of the track was causing a fair bit of interest if like me you were not the one riding it as what looked like a simple bomb hole gap/step down was catching most people out as there wasnt much of a kicker to help you clear it instead the rider had to almost bunny hope the gap. James (not me ) on his new V-10 was making it look easy even having time to give it abit of style. Whilst i was laying on my back looking up trying to take a low panning shot of the gap i was taken by just how calm and peaceful the trees were, even with us in there.

Ron,
The pump track isn’t top secret but we would rather show people face to face rather than give out directions. So let us know if you want to ride it.
