delusional Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 These pics are some of the reason I've not been posting much over the last few weeks (well that and not having my own computers nearby). There's a whole wealth of great riding spots, all within about 2 minutes walk of my parents house in Cornwall. I thought I'd take a few pics to give you all taster of what my Christmas has comprised of :lol: These are a few pictures of the old harbour on St. Agnes beach. I was annoyed that I didn't ride here more while I was in Cornwall, the amount of lines (from easy to impossible) here is just unreal. And these are a couple of pics of the old mine workings at Wheal Kitty. There's something similar (but a bit bigger) a few miles away (near Perranporth) that pictures have been posted of here before. There are more pics in my gallery, over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delusional Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 SHIT me, gunna have to fix me bike quick ish and head over there, never knew there was riding like that at ST agnes. (Y) Make sure you check the tide times before you do. The rocks are all along one side of the cove, so you can only ride them when the tides out (other times they're under water). Give me a PM when u are down next and i wil come and meet up with you (Y) ← Will do. Although it probably won't be until April now, but then I should be down for several months :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delusional Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 MY DAD LIVES IN ST AGNES. haha, never seen that! where abouts is all that! ← Wow, small world. I grew up there :) The piles of rocks used to be the harbour (which fell down in about 1915), so they're along the side of the cove. You can't really miss them if you ever go down to the beach. Unless the tides right in I suppose... The old mine workings are up at Wheal Kitty (on the cliffs, reachable by the stairs beside the Driftwood).

Just go up the steps behind the pub and then head inland (and uphill) at the top. It's about 2 minutes walk, and only takes that long because it's all uphill. You're right, the harbour is on the left. You've just got to time it right with the tides and you can easily get lots of hours riding in :) All the rocks on the right are really dodgy, I haven't yet looked at them with my bike but there are loads of them (they follow the cliff all the way around to the next cove). You can just about make them out in this pic (linked to save peoples bandwidth). They're all naturally created rocks, so are sharp in places and interspersed with sand, shingle and rock pools. Certainly a challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngageClothin Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 innit, i cut me trainer open on them rocks! loads of rock pools etc to dodge, When i went to the next cove, there were more rocks. Looks cool, ill have to stop at me dads for abit haha, Also i herd there is a quarry near St agnes Head. I remeber going there to walk me dog haha. There many riders around them parts? i normally ride on me own when i go down there. I took me unicycle down one year and rode in the St Agnes carnivl. lol. For the railway pub :lol: haha.

cant_ride Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 is it that old mine place or somewhere near that part of the pashley video was filmed because I've always wanted to go there? It looked like that and then had a massive mountainous slag pile off to one side. oli i never seen a rock in my life :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be two guys I occasionally rode with there, but that was about 5 or 6 years ago now. I'm pretty sure there are a few trials riders in the village still, because I found a load of pallets and rocks built up as if someone were building sections at Wheal Kitty. I do know lots of motorbike trials riders down there... but that's kind of different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the video, but I think from what I remember reading elsewhere it was filmed near Perranporth (at the similar place which I mentioned above) which is about 4 miles away.
