grahams ride pics

some pics from grahams ride yesterday,
got to the cafe a bit early for breakfast soon followed by ben and king.
all fed and watered we head off for the start of strata where we get ready and park the vans.




the river crossings unfortunately so one got wet.















few more random ones of strata










few random ones along the way









heading towards the dam at Claerwen












lane heading away from the dam rather rocky with deep puddles!






after a refuel and food stop at Ryadr time for grub
where graham starts telling us of our impending doom of the next lane with the moving bog!
and if not when we get through it, there's this mighty river witch sound nothing short of the amazon....







a taste of what was to come.





after getting to the river amazon yip this is it
i ask graham where's this fecking bog en? well it was here last time or it was a lot worse last time he says.







now i can remember graham and Wayne saying that this bog is before the river and that it moves.
well it mush have learned to fucking jump or fly for that mater!
other side of the river was where the bog was today or more like a swamp i,d call it.

just the beginning....




durzer on the deck after his idea of hitting it flat out go,s pear shape and ends up flying head first over the bars first class aerodynamics there.

ben thinking if he keeps the power on it mite just......











not sure if it was after or before this photo i was im
pain laughing so much at watching ben fall and try to crawl through this swap on his hands and knees.
can only describe this place like walking on jelly and sinking up to your knees with every step.
you could see the ground wobble as to tried to walk on it.
we eventually managed to drag the bikes out with a rope
(i,d taken expecting to need it for the amazon river)






cracking day made a nice change from climbing mountains and brill weather.
