Thats great Timpo. Actually going to Wales in 2 weeks for the Red kite (Crfx).
I just wish there was somewhere to practice on a bit nearer tho.
Ive been to the Peak a few times, but last year, and with guys i didnt really know.
They seemed to know their way round a bit, but ive lost touch with them really. (Id go back on my own if i could remember the routes)
Im actually making enquries about some private land near here to ride on. Ive involved the "opinions" of the local police about wether or not they can actually get involved/prosecute us for riding on the land. (unauthorised !)As usual , its VERY complicated.
Ive also phoned 3 secretaries of the more local TRF groups, to find out more info re legal routes etc locally, and to discuss perhaps joining the group.
Either they wouldnt answer messages left on their answer machines, or I just got the feeling they didnt want to help.
Given the recent bad press us bikers/off-road bikers receive, and the shutting of a lot of "roads" previously open to us, I can understand them being cagey but the group(s) just seemed like a "closed shop". They werent very welcoming at all.
Anyone like to comment . . . . ?? (especially TRF group members near here. North lincs)
