Open primarily to Big Trailies, GSs and the like.
This will be novice friendly, but will contain some muddy patches and some fords and the like. There will be easy routes around the harder stuff tho. All will however be easily ridden on a big trailie with a half competent and confident rider on board tho. Newbies will be more than welcome and looked after, just come with a "have a go" attitude and you will be fine.
I would recommend using TKCs or similar not road biased rubber tho.
A hint of things to come:

Please fill up* before hand.
(*= You might want to consider just how full you need to be if you own a bike with a large tank. It all adds to the weight you have to balance/pick up when you don't. I use less than one 8l tank on the 450 doing this route)
I plan to pretty much stick to the normal marker system, so please take a look here:
Rideout Etiquette
Also PLEASE take a look at http://www.trf.org.uk/code-of-conduct/85-code-of-conduct.html#uvrow and note the TRF code of conduct.
I can't really tell you too much about the route/distance etc, as I plan to cuff it, according to how well people are doing.
What I can tell you is, the trail WILL have the odd slippery/sandy/muddy patch, but if everyone looks out for each other they won't present anything more than a "challenge" to your mind. They aren't too difficult and unless you get it WAY wrong and end up in the trees
, shouldn't be bike damaging if you do get it wrong.
That said, if people are finding it too easy/hard, I can alter to suit.
Suck it and see as they say.
Above all, the day is yours to enjoy, but please, not at the expense of other countryside users.
