Just a tentative feeler, I am thinking of taking a few (max 6) GS or KTM Adv riders for a spot of introductory Green Laning on the Berkshire downs.
It'll be an easy route aimed squarely at first timers. Road tyres will be fine although if its really wet we'll have to cancel.
No real rules, other than its all at your own risk etc etc. Only thing I insist on is decent gear including stout boots (trials, enduro or Moto-X - not road boots). I have a few spare pairs of boots you can borrow if needed (9 & 10).
It'll be no Walters Arena style experience but its free and I can give you a bit of advice on enjoying your big bike on the slippery stuff. I'll also introduce you to the TRF (Trail Riders Fellowship) who are active in the Thames Valley with groups in Oxford and in Reading (Lodden Valley). The TRF is instrumental in keeping green lanes open for use by responsible motorcyclists and if have an interest in this its well worth joining.
Put your name down if interested and if it happens I'll see you come the day.
Meet at my place in Reading at 2pm Sat 2nd June, with a bit of faffing we should plan on a good 2 /12 hrs on the trails, squeeze in a quick pint to round things off, and still be home in time for tea with the missus.
