Ah I recognise some of those places :-) See it's still as dusty on the plain as it was on Saturday. Sorry I couldn't join you guys today (wife had made plans weeks ago unfortunately) – I'd have appreciated being shown some new tracks
In June this year I undertook the whole Nature Rally in one trip, in aid of Riders for Health

Uploaded a tiny video clip from the ride. A car went past the other way, stirring up lots of dust. Looked a bit biblical for a moment :)



I treated the colours a bit to make it look more interesting. Will upload a few more bits this week.

Love it mate, with the colour treatment you'd be hard pressed to know whether it was filmed in the South East of England, or a desert.
Will done.

hi guys,

well i made it back safely had some rear end step outs on the tarmac, should have rembered all the wd40 and no rear brakes:woohoo: .

First a big thaanks to Andy for the spare inner tube and help fixing the puncture well ripped tyre and tube . Shrapenel was 2" long we kid you not and the tube had a slice about 3" so well knackered, and I think we all were gratefull of Andy`s excellent route just got to remeber were we went.

Also a big thanks to Herman for being tail end charlie and for Rich proving the humor and Food..:laugh: :laugh: good effort offroad your getting better.

Stormfield -cool video cant wait for more and well done for keeping going on those Rutted sections, what 2 falls we missed those?
