ADVENTURE COUNTRY TRACKS.EV
HI everyone, first off i m sorry for putting the wrong name up yesterday for this post and also for managing to do multiple times !!!!!
but this is the one i meant , i would attach the link but im not that PC savvy.
Has anyone done the UK trail ? and if so is it really ok for big bikes ridden by an ordinary rider ?
Could Admin remove the the topics i posted under All Country Trails please to stop people wasting their time please.

Re: ADVENTURE COUNTRY TRACKS.EV
There are 7 chapters if you wish to skip to the specific areas of interest
What bike are you thinking of riding Sooby? I've probably ridden many of the routes on my (unladen) CCM644 but none on my 1200gs.

Re: ADVENTURE COUNTRY TRACKS.EV
Hint:
TET : Trans European Trail
ACT: Adventure Country Tracks
To call ACT tracks and not trails will reduce the risk of misunderstanding
E,g UK Trail ??

Re: ADVENTURE COUNTRY TRACKS.EV
I've not ridden it, but as a general note of caution I'd say not to do so on your own on a big bike (I confess, I have sometimes been trail riding on my own on my 950 KTM but have picked the route and weather very carefully).
Three is probably the best number, as you sometimes need two people to lift the third bike off its rider!
There was a guy on YouTube who filmed himself riding alone on a big GS. He made one film when he got 100 metres up a hardpack gravel track, fell off the bike and broke his leg. He called for an ambulance, filming all the while. The ordinary Mercedes Sprinter ambulance reversed up the track, and the two guys lifted the bike off him.
The track was honestly like a suburban drive...a child could have ridden a little bicycle up there.
In general, the heavier and more powerful the bike, the more useless it is as soon as the wheel leave tarmac.

Saw one on the Roman Road, above Hawes once and he came from the proper gnarly end from Fleet Moss & over the limestone pavement

Re: ADVENTURE COUNTRY TRACKS.EV
....I've seen an out of control Mercedes delivery van on a heavily rutted single byway in the middle of nowhere in deepest, darkest Wiltshire...and a Ford Escort trying to drive up 'The Gap' road near Brecon in Wales...which was unbelievable because the only way to get a car up 'The Gap' would be by helicopter...!
p.s. that's where my profile picture was taken...
