    Yeah I thought it was getting a bit wet towards the end of the day (sunday) and that you guys might be stuck in a bog!!. It was mint on Sat. Their was a perfect mix of mud pits and tracks to suit everyone. If it keeps dry I'll head out there next time too. There is some great jumps out there too!! It would be cool if they could put a couple of table tops out there for newwer riders to build some jumping confidence.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Yeah parts were lumpy, but overall it was great. Found some cool new tracks too. One was the muddy bog from hell and the other was a awesome alternative to the horrible pellets.

    If you get alot of wind with a good air temp it does dry out reasonably fast but in the winter time it just doesn't get warm enough.

    Sounds like fun, give me a pm when you all go. I usually get hold of a 4metre trailer so can get more than 5 bikes on it possiblly bbq ( if some one has one mines permanantly fixed)
    Never been to Thunderx or kimmies before so looking forward to doing a few rounds there on clay rather than sand.

    You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
    And now a third thing a bloody big gun to shoot theives with!
