Mufy, Mel, Joe Clarky and me met it Kington on a dry bright morning for a gentle spin around the Welsh/English border, despite shit weather forecasts all week Very Happy

First job was to get Joe's mighty KTM trail worthy  Very Happy

Mel kindly offered to be 'sweeper' for the day - don't ask!  Very Happy

After loads of river crossings and watery lanes Joe gave Mufy a good roosting on the very last bit - but does have the decency to look guilty!

Another execellent video - but it doesn't encourage me to keep making comparatively shit one's!

If you added up the points for the unexpected U turn that skittled Mel and 'Obstructing the Highway' on that greasy hill you'd almost have me banned Embarassed
Just a good job sniggering at dead KTM's isn't an offence or I would be lol!
