Right chaps, tomorrow morning it is then - myself & Tramp will be at Countess Services from about 0830 with a view to getting away at 0930. Don’t worry is you’re running a few minutes late – no point in breaking your neck
We’ll have a quick chat about technique, safety & then push off. & just to whet the appetite …
I'm off to the pub now :silly: see y'all in the morning

Had a fantastic day, still on my journey home, currently falling asleep in clacketts services car park, :S be home soon and I'll sleep like a baby tonight, I'm absolutely shagged!
Massive thanks to Mr Tramp for all the work he has put into organising the routes, especially for us off road newbies, it started out a but tame (

) but got progressively more demanding, it couldn't have been better.
Also a massive thanks to Peejay for leading us all, a great job by a great fella.
And yet another massive thanks to Mr Freemarket for instigating the whole day.
Great to meet you all too and put some faces to usernames too.
Well, I'm off on my final leg now, I'll post some pics later tonight or tomorrow.

Firstly, a huge thank you to Tramp & all our other guides today - without you guys, all of this would never have happened
To everyone that turned up, thank you for coming along. I really hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did
I've opened a new thread for us all to post those hero shots here...

... but most importantly, now we all have a rough idea how to do it, who is up for the next jolly ??

i dont feel too bad at the mo, except someone has kicked me in the kidneys, hit my thighs with a table leg and driven a car over my forearms, and i dont think im going to be able to walk tomorrow, but thats a normal night out in portsmouth
well done mr free market for the original idea,
russ for all his time and hard work on maps & routes, much appreciated by all of us, (sorry i couldnt stick around for your return but you probably went round again anyway).

Well Boys an Gilrs,
That was a top day, thanks go to Russ for leading a superb route, nice for it to be dry for once!!
Chris and I had a blast as tail end charlies, have you ever seen a super 10 or a Dr for that matter, take air, we were flying.
Fantastic scenic views some solid tuition and by the afternoon we were all going at a fair old pace, that is untill Winn Green, highest place in Dorset where the Dr decided it had had enough.
Got the spanners out but no joy, organised recovery and sent the boys on there way whilst I did a spot of ray catching.
Rectifyer and battery needed.
Great to play with the Army whilst on the plain, helicopters, tanks, apcs, recovery trucks, tankers, engineering trucks, you name it, adds a new meaning to trail riding.
Thanks Russ, till the next time.
