At least I think it's the Wall... A brilliant day in January, we did so many descents via the Afan Adventures Uplift service we lost track.

Look out it's 100mb. As ever Right Click with your mouse then select 'Save Target as' to save. Once running hold Alt and hit Enter to run full screen!

Wharncliffe Woods is full of incredible steep descents which are a blast but frankly look rubbish on helmet camera. There are also some mad fast routes through the trees like this one. I almost impaled myself on a broken branch to get this clip.

OK, so this is a slow one for the top two thirds, but viewers were complaining we never screened any technical stuff. So here it is, defying death on Helvellyn, it's pretty anyway. For the feature of this amazing ride see Hell's Ridge

This section of Bridleway is easily missed as the obvious trail goes straight over the top. Take the time to find the less ridden left turn however and one of the longest natural descents around starts with this beauty.

A section of one of the hardest and best trails on the Nidderdale route.

Finally the new light camera let us film some of the classic downhills on this epic ride. This is the last descent on the Nidderdale 1 ride, it usually takes six hours to get back to here! I edited the boring gate in the middle which is always closed DOH!

Not a spectacular video this one, just a beautiful trail which is a bit harder to go fast on than it looks. Lots of holes and rutts to catch out the unwary. Speeds up a lot towards the end.

Been meaning to film this descent for ages and it's a bit special. If you haven't much energy left at the end of the Skyline Trail then that would be a shame, because it's all about rocky jumps!

A fast and furious short stretch on the Nant yr Arian Syfidrin trail. Just a bit of snow to prove we were there in February.

The videos are shot with a helmet mounted camera giving a real 'rider viewpoint' feel for the trail.
The camera is a tiny 'lipstick' sized marvel from RF Concepts http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/

Windows Media Player 7 You will need Windows 98, ME or 2000 to run MP7. The clips should work with the latest version of Media Player 6, for those with 95 or NT4. To run a quick test before downloading the longer clips, try the Test Clip which should fully load in under 5 minutes (if it takes longer you need to change something, you're running SLOW).

QuickTime basic is a free video player which can be downloaded and run on any computer.

The originals of these clips are over 50 times larger in file size. At full quality on a standard 56K connection they would take up to two days each to download!

The playback speed of these videos is exactly as they were taken, they have not been speeded up. We're flattered to hear that some of our readers (viewers?) think they have! The digital video format used to record them is time encoded, allowing exact verification of playback duration.

Must mention the very helpful guys at Datavision who provided our remote switching camcorder facility. They also do a device to allow analogue input on certain digital cameras. Useful.
