24 inch First time on very steep hill.wmv

Taken in Muggleswick Woods near Consett. After many falls on this hill on 20 inch pegs, in the winter due to wet slimy conditions, today was my first trial on my newish 24 inch pegs. The first few steps were critical due to a step onto very steep clay which was my downfall in the winter.
Having successfully negotiated the top of the hill, I took the camera to the bottom to film and even steeper part which is totally unstiltable in anything but dry conditions. Even today with no rain for a month, I had one slide that nearly caused me to fall. Great fun. Around an hour on stilts of which this 8 minutes is a small part.
