    Waimak riding area (Cnty)

    Hello all,
    I've been fooling around with a couple of old XR200's lately.
    After pretty much 30 years away from the dirt I'm really loving skidding around again.
    The bikes seem much slower than from when I was a kid, until of course you get into the trees by which time they are barely controllable missles...
    Anyhoo, having a ball.

    My question is, is there any generalised etiquette/behaviour I should be aware of when I'm playing in the Wiamak riding area?
    Occasionally I see posts in the ground telling you what direction you should heading on a particular track but is there any 'rule of thumb'?

    Yeah don't be a cunt

    Just be considerate when you're around other riders, let faster guys through

    What area of the Waimak? we go from Weddons ross road and several areas are one way, but some parts are two way where you need to be a bit more careful

    I'v only been a couple of times but have struck out from Weedons Ross Road carpark
    I've ridden both upstream and downstream kind of exploring what's in there.

    At the moment I work on the theory that everyone is faster than me
