Evening all, I don't suppose anyone has an early to mid 90s 4 or 5 berth caravan going spare? Budget is not very big and wife is a bit picky, but never hurts to ask.
I've been riding for many years but still find riding rutted single track impossible to master. Any tips? I do try to look ahead and ride standing up but still land up with flailing legs all too often and land up knackered and dis-spirited. Any advice gratefully received.

During a solo yesterday afternoon i went up 192-125, blimey most of the hardcore laid in the lane over the last few years was strewn all over the road at the farm (West end) thus making the lane very difficult to ride, be aware of the deep ruts, pick a good line or you will be dragging your bike out on your kne...
