Greg,

That's not the Old Bourne we rode... We were in an overgrown ditch which you can just make out here running beside the track

I took the pictures here - I just couldn't be bothered to walk along to this part that you're referring to.

You can ride on the track beside the ditch which is broken into 3 section going when we did it.

7 rode the 1st stage going north east

5 rode the 2nd with two being taken out by the under growth

and only 2 (Loz and Jarv) rode the 3rd

Super Enduro R has agreed to reccie the route between now and the New Year to ensure that, as far as possible, it's fully GS-able.

See you all on the 3rd!

Greg

SBW has reasonable parking - you won't have a problem.

There are 18 lanes that I plan to use - probably about two-thirds road work, the rest on unsurfaced green lanes.

If we were doing this run in the height of summer, I'd say that Tourances would be fine. However, at this time of year it really depends on what the weather is like in the days before the event.

Either way, there'll be plenty of people about to assist you.
