TAFFY DAKAR 2016

Nice 1200 ...... if there is such as thing

One of those Varadaro thingys ..... named after a holiday town in Cuba if you didn't know already

Proper AT

I say to the rider, "Are you ok, or do you need a hand" in a panicky voice he replies "Yes, help help" ... nice guy.

I think this was the guy who came back across the river to shake hands after I stopped his bike going over

It go's quiet and we find a warm place to lie in the sun.

Knackered!

It had been harder than riding! (The next day I led another ride out on the trails and came by this way again.)


After a while I'm bored of lieing in the sunshine so take Ange's bike up and down the trail a few times, obviously hoping to continue her new found knack of 'capturing the moment she takes her camera out, but I'm not falling for that one

And that's all the photo's we took.

But if the riders thought that was difficult getting down to the river they were in for a right old shock in a couple of hundred yards!

No problem. If I had my camping stuff there I'd want strangers challenged too. But I did fancy one of those very impressive looking roast meat sandwiches and wondered if any shops on site.

Touratech were closed early Saturday, shut Sunday and Monday. Given all the riders in the area seemed a bit odd, but it is Wales.

The caterers were outside the camping area, All vendors in future will be outside as well

Hi chaps,
Looking forward to the pics, how do you volunteer to marshall? as its just up the road from me and I know the areas well from my 4x4 days be nice to give something back.

regards
Gren

Ask me lol

Cracking pictures Tim. And I like the dry humour in some of the captions. We're currently planning an October trip - maybe on the same trails, or potentially in Norf Wales. Let me know if you and Ange fancy joining us for some trails and beers.

That looks like a huge amount of fun with a wealth of opportunity to "gracefully dismount from your awesome steed"

I'll be signing up for next year

I've got Crossfire boots and body armour now - what could possibly go wrong

Pending a NERC environmental impact assessment I'm sure you'll get an entry
Your bike will be perfect.
