Puddletown woods, camera testing

It feels like ages since I've been out for a good mountain biking session, but today I put that to an end. Ewart and I headed to Puddletown woods in Dorset. A great place for some DH, Freerideing, 'Shore and dirt jumps. With masses of trails and masses of styles of trail there is loads to choose from.
We started off with some straight forward flowing trails and jumps, on one of the open sandy hills. Check out the videos below for a taster.
Then we headed over to one of the other hills, and had a quick ride on the dirt jumps. Where I crashed lots!! Then it was on down the hill to the Northshore. It was the first time I'd been to the shore here and I was impressed by what we found. Unfortunately the camera batteries had started packing up by this point and so I've not got anything to show for it! We also managed to find some Monster Big 'shore that was still under construction. It looks like it'll feature a 10+ drop off when it's finished, that pretty big!!!!
The trail that flows through the shore, named creepy hollow, is really good, lots of small sections of shore, and lots of swooping turns and drops. Brilliant!
Then after a quick ride on a few other trails, and a quick jump session on the 'bmx track' section of trails, we headed back, via a great sandy sweeping trail back to the van.
What a great days biking, why haven't I been doing this all summer!!

I've also been testing out the new Go Pro digital hero camera. Its a small waterproof, shock proof camera, capable of stills, video and stills sequences. All these pictures and video are from it. Next I'll be water testing it. Then I'll give it a proper review.
