In my latest revisit of my digital archives, here’s a piece I wrote about the various indiscretions of outdoors folk, back in 2020. Funnily enough, my feelings are still pretty much still here despite being five years down the line. kofthep.com/2025/01/10/cra…

Hayfield and Chinley Churn running well. Bit of slippy mud (on "Twitchy") to watch if you're blasting it. Sunlight made my mtb look a bit holy #publater keeper of the peak #sacredgeometry

Not so much a #mtb trail report, but avoid upper Edale on Saturdays. Very busy, daft parking, Mam Tor full. So those of us trying Hollins Cross etc. should try Chapel Gate, Brown Knoll etc. Cheeky routes better than trying to plough through hordes keeper of the peak #blametiktok

New bike time. I'm in the market for 1. A S/M FS for my 5'5" 12 year old and 2. Either a 2nd hand ebike/bike for me (6'2") Pic for niceness

Micro donations are a massive part of the trail pot. Pennies in means grassroots projects out. Those micro-donations soon add up. Make one today. And make it a regular thing. Micro donation: maximum impact instagram.com/reel/DIZIeC0tM…

Trails are still dry with the odd slippy/clay spot around Mellor Cross and Marple. Fast over the top and down to Rowarth via bridleway. Not exactly a night ride if you don't turn your lights on until 8.30pm. #mtb keeper of the peak

Chapel Gate, dropping into Edale. Not sure if Derbyshire CC have sanitised this steep descent, but it's harder to do with ground rocks. Areas indicated; tough up or down if you're saturday-horde-dodging (like me) keeper of the peak #mtb #friction_fiction
