Basslake Adventures Trail Video

#1

Post by Bogaards »

Did Basslake 4x4 trail last weekend.

Here is the link to the video.

Hope it provides an overview of what the trail is about. Unfortunately it is not possible to capture all the obstacles.

Very well made video!

I was a bit worried at first when he said he'd deflate to 1.5, but he did re-adjust later.
I dropped to 1.0 bar.

When we did it, it was about as wet as in the video, maybe a bit drier.
It's not very challenging, but it's nice & long & varied b& keeps you entertained.

Thanks Manny.

I actually did keep it at 1.5, only the first section was wet. I must say if I have to do it again I would indeed start lower.

The rest of the trail did not really give me any problems with regards to traction.

I would just recommend doing it in a group if it your first time (the map and numbers is a bit confusing), think I might have missed some of the obstacles. Is there like a academic section of the track as well?
