Here's a little edit I've just put together from some spare footage from my Lighthouse video last month. I couldn't resist a crack at riding over Spaniard Rocks at the northern end of Rhosilli beach as I went by it. Hope you like it.

Blimey Ian, having never been on a fat bike, that is almost mind blowing. I'd have been off before the guitar kicked in! Impressive stuff.

It's obvious that the bike's stood still and the ground is moving beneath it ... some kind of conveyor type thing no doubt :wink:

Thanks all. I have to say I got further than I expected, especially for an on-sight attempt (and with a laden bike).
The traction from the tyres and general resistance to deflection from the trail surface is remarkable.
Fully intend to go back for another go sometime, without full gear, with a view to clearing it without any dabs.
