Are guide Ian as Boyd the guy who runs and normally guides you was doing modifications to his house (as he said or the wife would
)
Old man having a wee sit down after a rough trail Having a wee tea/coffe at ians house after some long rough off roading Pee stop and time for a photo, lovely sunny weather and we mostly dodged the showers A trail there felt like it went on and on, but you just had to focus non stop Ian coming back after he went to put the side stand down on the KTM and found it wasnt there!!!! Bolt had sheared off but lucky enough he got the sidestand again. Close up of Ian after the steep down hill steps Yes playing in the water as my feet where already ringing wet, too many oh big puddle splash ah wet feets Yes that is snow in the back round and there where a few sections where you had 20m of snow covering the trail, very slippery or you just sunk in and had to power your way out. And finally an action splash photo of the old man All in all a great days off roading but my god to you feel like youve been 3 rounds with a boxer the next day. (yes i am unfit) Thats it for this trip, next is the lakes and the the IOM TT for a week....Cant wait.

Brands Hatch BSB and yes its.....RAINING
Cant go to motorbike race and not sit on a few bikes. Tenere even feels small now!!! I think i need to stop growing. Make Thomas in the orange fluro jacket, so gald he brought his company car down it was put to very good use as a shelter was the great weather One of the cleanest XTR's ive seen in a while, used as a return the racer to the paddack bike Some of the racing at actually happened That evening another feed with a few of my relatives. Left to Right, Me, Nana, Mother, Wendy (Aunt), Adrain (Uncle). Old mans taking the photo I think this is Whitestable but nice coast and nice weather On the pier at Dover, getting cool again, but still sunny as ever Old man orders steak and chips with a side order of 3 (yes 3) fried eggs, and i get pie and mash, which turns out to be half a pie and a bucket of gravy. Was all good Somewhere along the coast near whitestable Pose The big 88 taking in the coastal views On the way back up to Stoke on Trent, pulled into a service station off the M1 for a break, mate Thomas rings me out of the blue asking where im at and by any chance is it the blabhlabh service station. Randomly thomas had pulled over for a pee and a lolly while heading home from work, saw the bikes out front and put two and two together!!! How random is that Overland Trail Tours for 1 days off roading, this time i had to hire a Yamaha WR250F as i didnt have the XT660R. Class days off roading that i would recommend for any one, cheaper though if you bring your own bike. couple of piccies more to come
