Thank you all you lot for all the suggestions...I am going with Cdo1uk and Stoic Bloke on this one, and plumped for Desert Rose run by Patsy Quick.

I am going on their 1 day, Stage 1 Course on the 18th March at Somerley Park, nr. Southampton. They are based nr. Battle, but seem to move around the country a bit. Cost is �240 including bike, lunch, clothing. Here's the link

Now, which bike do I choose? A KTM 400EXC, or the 690 Enduro R ?
