Axle Twisting, Fords & Tight Lanes in Shropshire UK

[ellebarto]

I did my first day in Shropshire last weekend. I had always avoided it, despite it only being a few hours from home, because people said it was flat and a bit dull.

We got lucky with the weather and I have to say it was a really good day out. Everything I love about green laning. Not all severe climbs and challenges at every turn, although there were a few, but fantastic scenery, great and varied lanes and hardly any tarmac in-between.

What really made it for me was just how nice all the locals were. 3 or 4 people stopped us for a chat and the horse riders we ran into were everything those in the Peaks are not and kind of confirmed my opinion of the ‘Peaks attitude’

Nice video, lots of off camber sections!

Must be interesting when you meet someone coming the other way ...

Do you guys not carry chainsaws for the occasional tree across the road (or is that frowned upon!)

It varies from place to place and we do carry a couple. This one was a bit of a monster and was at a funny angle so we weren't really prepared to do anything about it on a short days laning.
