I went to the Cheltenham area last weekend for a bit of trail riding. It was a little different in many aspects but the cameraderie and friendliness of the trail riders is very similar to the Devon experience.

Elevation changes, hairpins, long sweeping bends, suicidal goats and sheep, mountains, some single track road, sunshine and hardly any traffic. CRF250X may not be designed as a tourer but it coped admirably and was great fun returning in excess of 65mpg. I did have 5 litres of unleaded strapped o...

A few months ago a team was formed for the first ever Taffy Dakar. All we knew was that we had to orienteer around the Black Mountains, with a map and a list of waypoints. Each waypoint had a question, and the team with the most points wins. In the pub on Friday evening, we worked out what we thought would be t...
