No, the Hump Rock can cycled in both direction. In the direction to the castle you follow the small stone way near the water and clime the right rock face like the slanting roofs. It's not really easy but I did make it anyway.

You, Gentlemen, are amazing. Brave, climbing that rock!
How's this for a cheat? Suppose you come to this forum and want to catch up on the latest comments. You don't want to scroll through pages to find the comment you last read. So what can you do? In the Cheats section you see the titles of all the different threads. In front of each one with new comments, there is a large pink box/symbol and a tiny pink box/symbol. You can click on the tiny one and it will take you to where you left off. Another time saver in the wild world of Island Cycling!
You're very welcome.

Saving some meters at the "Expert Course"? But you're right it's should not in the "Dead Plummet Cheats". I delete this two posts tomorrow and if a found a better place I will post it there.

Ah, yes, but what I meant was that you cannot just ride straight up the face of the rock that faces towards the tunnel, because it is too steep.

It is fine Methusalem, I was not talking about your posts being in the wrong place. I was talking about my little cheat to find the first new post. Y'all probably already knew that, but it was for anyone who didn't. Seriously off topic.

Can any of you help a noob please? Exactly where are: Upper Cliff
East Upland Green
South Upland Green
I'm trying to practise all these death plummets. Have to go and try the saddle rock drop into the sandpit now. Gym towel: check .... can't believe how much I am burning off these days!! Bidon: check Helmet: check
I only know of 5 cheats: 3 at the top level near the Castle- (1)one drops to the dry lake bed, (2) one drops to the road outside the Ruins, and (3) one drops to the exit to the plateau from the tunnel with the metal ramp.
(4) One outside of the Dry Lake Bed tunnel (to the right) - drops down to the "s" shaped ledge with ball.
(5) One across from the ruins that if you go straight over the cliff, once you get the balloon, you reincarnate on the road (same level).
If you know of any I have left out, let me know and I will add it on the map.

So you can dive from the ruins and start on the road? Can you give a better description of where to dive from? We here have not found such a plunge. That would save time.
I have a beloved live plummet; it is off the large plateau at the top of the metal ramp. Close to the mountain on the right and your kitty will stay with you. You end up right at the tunnel to the ruins.

I think this describes the area after leaving the ruin, stay right and cross the road. If you pop the balloon in field and then go over cliff into lake you will reappear on the road heading for the dog leap tunnel. I think you have already been there Kescah

No, I have found no way to jump from the Ruins.
If you leave the Ruins and go right - up just a little across the road there is a Balloon. IF after you break the Balloon you just go straight off of the cliff in to the lagoon below - you will reincarnate back at the road.
It is debatable as to whether it saves any real time to use it.
Yes, I forgot about the jump you spoke of I will add it, but since it is not really a death jump, I'll have to give it another symbol.
