I took the trailer along because i could and was curious to see how it and the bike would cope with a "worst case scenario", giving me some idea of it's potential for a longer trip, with the possibility of experiencing arduous conditions.
Most of the trail ride was standing out of the saddle because the speeds were so slow getting around tree roots, stones and boulders.
In some sections i was inching my way forward paradoxically going downhill.
35 kilos of trailer pushing from behind over awkward terrain does strange things to the riding dynamics of a bicycle.
Having said that, the downhill sections were terrifying at times, "being unable to turn around on a steep and narrow track with the only option to keep going and panic like a claustrophobic in a locked airline toilet if conditions got worse.
