00:31Collie's Ledge is another very famous stretch of the Coulin Ridge.
00:34It's actually a path that runs slightly off the top of the ridge, but it's about maybe
00:41at its widest it's maybe two and a half feet and at its most narrow it's almost like a
00:45foot with probably about a 500 foot drop down into Corrie Lagan.
00:50When we first went up into the Coulins to scout Collie's Ledge, the weather was absolutely
00:54terrible.
00:55You know, we had maybe 20 feet of visibility the whole day, bucketing with rain, and Matt
00:59was explaining that there was this huge exposure that we couldn't see, so I was kind of calling
01:04out beforehand that I was going to be happy to do this.
01:07It appears it's blowing a force 10 hoolie.
01:10Even me.
01:12Then when we actually returned there in the good weather, it did become clear that, you
01:16know, there was a very big cliff.
01:20There's a ledge, and then, if you look over here, and that is what's below.
01:29He reckons he could have done it when he was five years old, was his exact words.
01:32So basically, we were just letting him go and do it with the GoPro, we were going to put
01:36the drone out wide and just, if he wants to ride it, he's going to ride it.
01:40I think it's a stretch of the path that a lot of people find quite intimidating, just
01:44because of the exposure.
01:46It's a strange one, actually, compared to what he does a lot of the time, because he's
01:49not doing a trick, he's not doing, he's literally riding along a bit of trail, but the difference
01:53is on the side of the trail, it's like massive exposure.
02:01I kind of just picture it, just like my pavement, outside my front garden, and just, that's
02:08where I'm going.
02:08I'm not going to go off the curb, you know, which happens to be a 500 foot drop.
02:15So the plan is not to go down there, but the hardest part of this whole thing is definitely
02:23this little thing here.
02:26You know, I felt very confident riding along Collie's Ledge, apart from one particular
02:30section near the beginning, which had this kind of, maybe two foot step up, and as you
02:36kind of step up onto top of it, the bike completely stalls, and on my left hand side, there's just
02:44the sheer drop, there's nowhere to feel my feet.
02:47It's alright, that first bit's quite tricky.
02:49It was quite an interesting time, because, you know, all the filming team were kind of round
02:54in the corner, out of shot, and I had a walkie-talkie in my backpack, and just with the drone
02:59flying
03:00alongside.
03:02Again, it was a very cool feeling to be there, knowing that we were getting the weather and
03:06getting the shots for the film.
03:29I hope the wind doesn't catch me.
03:32Okay.
03:32Whenever you want to go.
03:33Okay.
03:34Whenever you want to go.
03:42Okay.
03:46Whenever you want to go.
03:46Love that!
03:48Sound like a sack of potatoes.
03:50I think it's fine.
03:52Let's get this done.
03:55Okay.
04:04Ah!
04:05It couldn't be any heavier!
04:08This poor bike!
04:10This is it.
04:10I'm going to get out of this one.
04:11That sounds pretty cool.
