Had a little fun yesterday, pop down a couple muddy tracks listed as BOATS locally. Had a fun time, and found this little spot - sat here and had my lunch. Just the sound of the running water and quiet.
Even had a visit by some people on horse back who had a nice chat with me! :woohoo:
Plodded along and were some muddy sections, but just kept the speed up and went on through - had a lot of fun!
Had a little adventure!

Avon Storms, I'm sure an off-road god would be able to do more than me on them, but for what I accomplished on them I was very happy indeed.Treadtrader wrote:Nice little ride on what are basically road tyres, :woohoo: Good un mate. :cheer:
I'm thinking about Avon Distanzias/Pirelli MT60/Pirelli Scorpion or even Michelin Anakee's as next tyres.
Cant wait to explore a few more lanes round my way - I'm scouring through OS maps. Anyone know where to buy them? Been looking in local shops and cant find any - Halfords had none. Perhaps camping shops?

Top effort old bean. This site is handy,I have posted it up before and will continue to do so: http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm It shows ground conditions relative to the O.S. map which can be handy for checking wether to tackle something on a bigger bike.

Re: Had a little adventure!
Nice one Hans. OS maps near you?, best bet is Go Outdoors just off the A4 about a mile from Fowlers on the way towards Bath.
Or use the online mapping sites like Herman said. I tend to use bikehike.co.uk as it allows you to auto-route road sections to join it all up, then you can download the gpx file for the satnav.

In June this year I undertook the whole Nature Rally in one trip, in aid of Riders for Health
