Thanks Adam, for a great day.

Amazingly fit bunch of tossers, mud, sand, pig slurry they loved it all.

Looking forward to the next one.

An enjoyable days ride, good to meet you all even those mad enough to trail ride a GS with Tourances and the like .

I was a sand virgin until yesterday, I might pop up that way more often now.

Some poor quality piccies here.http://www.flickr.com/photos/10444275@N06/sets/72157608578737552/show/

I was the one on the Yamaha Tenere btw.

Cheers for organising Adam, a great day out with excellent company and expert piss taking along the route. Only fell off 3.5 times...no one saw the first diversion into the long grass! I must say the Superman impression was excellent and how the heck you manage to get a GS facing 180 in the wrong direction on such a narrow track beats me. Great fun chaps.

It's called 'throttle control' ... or to be more accurate the lack of

My pleasure guys. We aim to please.

yeah right

If you saw where we rode today you would know what I meant.

Yes there was an inch of soft slippery mud around in places but on the whole terra firma was not far down and grip was pretty good even on road rubber for those with a subtle throttle hand.

Adam is there any chance of you putting the trails we used on the site?

Yes I will stick a map up sometime this week, along with the few pics I took on the first trail.

Just a further note to thank those that have posted the pic's. Viewing the pic's of horizontal GS's my partner (from the medical profession) she asked whether the GS in the name stood for Groin Strain?

Nice to meet you all on Saturday, I'm glad I opted for the WR450 I was on and not my Adv...never ever trust a squadie !
Very impressed with the tenacity of you all on the big bikes...nice to see good humour when the bikes inexplicably threw themselves on the floor !
see you all on the next one !

The bike, jeans & jacket were all pressure washed today and now look as good as new.

My jacket and troos got stuffed into the washing machine despite protests from her indoors. She got the last laugh though cos they now smell of " Tropical flowers with added Ylang Ylang "

Already smelt of the local flora didn't they?

I just knew that photo was going to end up on here
I think you went on ahead and sabotaged the track

In my defense the front wheel took me that way , i had no choice but to follow.........

I just assumed there was a field full of sheep the other side of the hedgerow.

Blimey, I thought I'd missed out on a game of motorised Hide and Seek for a minute there.
