WHILE ON HOLIDAY IN MARCH TO AUSTRALIA I MANAGED TO BOOK IN A DAYS TRAIL RIDE WITH A COMPANY CALLED WEST COAST TRAIL BIKE SAFARIS WHICH WAS RUN BY JOHN AND GEORGINA STAINES. THE RUN WAS ON A MID WEEK, BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO BE THERE WHEN A LARGER GROUP WAS GOING OUT SO I HAD A ONE TO ONE RIDE EXPERIENCE, WHICH WAS PRETTY DAMN GOOD,THE BIKE I HIRED WAS A YAMAHA WR250 WHICH WAS QUITE A FUN BIKE TO TAKE OUT AFTER A QUICK BRIEFING HE SHOWED ME HOW TO USE A RADIO PHONE AND A NAVIGATION SYSTEM WHICH IF WE NEEDED TO CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR ANY REASON AS WE WERE OUT IN THE BUSH, A HELICOPTER COULD BE LOCATED, ALSO POINTING OUT TO WATCH FOR WILDLIFE EG: LARGE KANGAROO'S AND EMU'S, WHICH NOT LONG AFTER WE SET OFF I HAD THE PLEASURE TO MEET. THE TERRIN CONSISTED OF PEA GRAVEL FORREST BRAKES,SINGLE TRACKS,OFF PISTE AND SANDY TRAILS,AND RIVER CROSSING'S AS SHOWN ON PICTURE'S, THE TEMPERTURE WAS ABOUT 28C WHICH WAS RATHER WARM BUT LUCKY IT WAS NOT THE DAY BEFORE AS IT WAS 35C+ WHICH MENT I WOULD HAVE NOT GOT MY RIDE AS THERE WAS A FIRE RISK WITH THE WEATHER BEING SO HOT. ALL IN ALL A GREAT DAY TRAIL RIDE AND I WOULD CERTAINLY RECOMMEND IT IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO GO TO OZ.SO ANY ONE INTERESTED THERE EMAIL IS RIDE@WESTCOASTSAFARIS.COM.AU
