It has been about 3 weeks since I truly pulled or wrenched my Achilles tendon. I’ve only just started going back to the gym. I still feel that the foot is not ready for mountain biking. The weather has not been kind either!
Next weekend looks like a no go. I think there might be something on I need to do. So it’s 2 weeks from this post that I’m hoping to get out. I’d like to do the Puffin Billy as I have not done that for ages. It’s easy to do although a bit awkward to get to. My van will NOT fit up there, which means cycling up that really steep hill. So the foot really will need to be ready for such a venture. I might have to give in and try Haldon forest first to see how that goes?
I am, however, going a bit stir C R A Z Y !! I need to get out!
Ok maybe not officially. Boy, this weather is something. I do tend to avoid Haldon Forest during the lead up to Christmas. It gets super busy with various Christmasy things…and I just don’t do crowds. So I need to focus on those tracks that are rideable in these wetter months.
Below..an AI image, as I was interested to see how copilot did! Looks like a perfect track..Wish it was real!
The rides I have done before on these wetter days include Princetown Loop, Puffin Billy, and Lydford. I’ve also done The Military Road and The Granite Way. Personally, the last three are quite a drive from my place in Kingsbridge. However, the Lydford one is a cracking ride. But…I’ve not an entry for the Puffin Billy So I really should do that one, and its the closest too!
Stay tuned then for an update on the Puffin Billy!
Well, sad news indeed, from 1st November 2025 the High Moorland Visitor Centre at Princetown will be no more, personally the next best one will be the Postbridge Centre which is a newer build, Postbridge opening hours are found here, it will be sad to see the Princetown centre go, just like when the one at New Bridge went ( which really did do a good service! ) Hate to say this, but it feels that Dartmoor is very much changing and I do not think its for the best either.
So I’ve just gone a bought Pinnacle Studio 26 Ultimate, as I was getting fed up with Movavi crashing all the time, I am finding out why I liked Pinnacle all those years ago, though I am missing some of those nice animations from Movavi
