I think, but I may be way off, that its the lot that runs enduro practice and race at bovington . Grew out of the blue light club? Nice chap a few of us have taken the big bikes round. They only do Facebook though it seems so that's me out.

Looks like they won't be going back to Bovington any time soon :angry:
Apart from some numpties leaving a pile of rubbish including oil behind, military quite rightly pissed off so don't think they were to keen to have the Endeavour group back.

Real shame as it was good fun.

Just checked the calendar and so far I've got weekends in October probably free.
There's no detailed dates on their FB page at the moment but I'm sure that someone will update the ABR collective (Herman et al) closer the date.
Cheers Harv

i know Herman, FB isn't great, but it is easy and free for groups/businesses.
I'm sure links to a website will appear soon :)

The first event will be held at Sweet lamb Adventure Bike Academy, Wales. The remainder of UK events are yet to be announced.
The first event will be 14/15th October 2017.
How much £150 - this will include a prologue stage with medical cover and a GPS track or road book.
Competition liability insurance included for use on public rights of way. Free teas/coffees and BBQ on Saturday night.
On arrival riders will sign on and complete event admin. On day one riders will complete a timed prologue stage.
On day two we will upload your GPS with the route or issue roadbook rolls and set riders off on the navigation stages. You can enter as a GPS challenge or the roadbook challenge, we will provide the roadbook route only.
During the navigation phase we will include speed traps, secret check points and other navigational requirements. Penalty points will be given for navigation errors and combined with your prologue time to give an overall result. We will download your route from your GPS at the end of the day.
This is open to any off road, road registered motorcycle. Each bike will be put into a class based on CC and type i.e. Enduro, Adventure etc.
The tyres should have sufficient tread and capable to cope with the varied terrain, not standard road tyres. They must be road legal and we would suggest using a knobbly tyre.
For the GPS challenge you will need a GPS capable of reading and receiving a GPX file.
For the roadbook class it is advisable to use an electric road book. It is not a necessity but you may also wish to purchase an ICO computer. Highlighter pens, notebook and pens may also be useful.
Once you have signed on and we have received confirmation of your participation we will send an email with the rules and regulations for each event. If unsure on any element please contact us.
Early bird price £130
