3 Days of Tenere Therapy (part 1)
 

Having just returned from a trip to Manar Park, which is a 15,000 acre working cattle property with a nice little side line, a Motorbike & 4wd adventure playground. Smart farmer. I feel my brain has been rebooted & refreshed.
It's in a fairly remote location which has various camp sites & a few permanent accommodation options. There are over 200k's of well marked tracks of different grades to enjoy & enjoy I did. One 'fault' that often pops up about the Tenere is that it's a bit tall. But I can say that after spending a day standing on the pegs that when you eventually sit down again, it feels more like a pee-wee. The whole experience has certainly made me a better rider after a mix of hard pack, loose rocks & stones, sand, whoops etc etc, Manar had it all.

The trip down...

"24 years waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel maybe get a 2nd dance,
24 years living next door to Alice,"
"Alice, WTF is Alice?"
Well this is where she tied her horse I suppose who ever she was...
