Then There's Two

[louisdut]

Only 2 miles into the day and the ktm 950 is not running right

Ian, Jase & myself spent an hour but it was no good the bike would not run well so poor Ian went home

Jase & me stayed on the road upto Rhayader to make time up then started the tracks

Not sure why jase parked there

But on we went

Jase showing the HP2 who's boss

Then onto Angles Retreat & the water

We came across some small ruts

It was great fun but some times we were not sure if we could get out of them at the ends

To close

We were out and away

Yes we did ride some grass sorry jase

Dead end or not ?

We rode the Strata Florida wet wet wet

Not a good start to the day But tured out for Jase and I a great days riding some ace tracks & Jase rode very well all day .I think he's alot better than he gives himself credit for


Jase has some great video of Angles Retreat & second half of the Strata Florida I'm sure he will post

 

[(RIP) petcul]

Great pictorial report That boy Jase just loves the water

Nice report

Great pics and write-up. Nice countryside too. Must get an enduro bike here one of these days....

Nice on Louis

Great little write up and pics. For those , like me, who have know idea where you were . Roughly, and I mean within 5-10 miles or so can you show us on multimap perhaps?

I'd love to have a go at that.............need to get a suitable bike

Thanks for a great day out Louis - I had a top time and I only dropped the bike 3 times So maybe Louis is a bit optimistic about my ability...

I need to post my pics as well but in the meantime, here are a couple vids:

This one is Louis climbing the same hill you can see me climbing in my avatar:

And this one is from a helmet cam that I wore following Louis down the Strata Florida. For those that haven't done it - it'll give you a good idea of what's instore when the water is quite low (pay attention to the few words at the beginning and end ):

I'll post the other half once I've formatted it for the web.

PS: Quote of the day from Louis: It wasn't that steep/difficult/deep last time I was here!

I'm absolutely Gutted that i ordered the HP2MM and not the HP2E. I would have loved to have gone with you and . . . .

Sorry,just can't tell lies.You obviously enjoy your Dirty Habit and Well Done on the Trip,the Pics and the Post. I'd no more do that than ParaGlide off the Empire State Building.

Now that sounds familiar somehow...

Fantastic pics, captions and videos, thank you both for posting.

Paul, did I miss Nicky in the photos? Looking forward to seeing you both at the weekend (still have to decide where to put that sticker... ).
