You got as far up as Trevor when we visited Toms last year. The difference was Trevor went up forwards....but then realised turning was near impossible - took us both to man handle it around and stop it tipping over sideways as it turned. From that point onwards it just get stupidly steep ... only for fools past that point in my opinion.
Well done for having a look though ......

Its so so steep, you would have to be a mad fool to try and ride right up it on a quad.
It was bad enough going up half way backwards, sod trying to turn round up there!!!!

It was a bloody good day, looking forward to camping up there for a weekend soon.
Dave (Yellow Peril) why don't you get either a motorbike or a buggy like Richard's so you can come out and play more? They might be less stressful on your back

No, the quad is going back to the dealers later if ever I can be bothered to get out of bed, I will get them to put it back on, it looks like the plastic nuts are broken, more money!!!
