A few of us done the W2D this year and what an amazing event! The whole atmosphere from start to finish was incredible, loads of like minded people just out for a good time! cheers
Myself, Wolfy and Joss went up on the Tuesday with Ray, Ian, Jeff, Jason P, Jason H, Ady turning up on Wednesday and then Stu turning up at about half 5, leaving him half hour to get his bike into parc ferme then worrying about his front tyre and trying to get it back lol!
Chris Berry and Dean were riding too but staying in the Metropole so didn't get any pics of them
I didn't get many pics of the going as it was relentless, like a trail ride on steroids! affraid and I think maybe the 525 was a bit much of a handful around the tight wooded sections but an animal in the open! cheers
Was nice to see Cricket and Kirky cheering us on at the tests too  cheers
All loaded and ready to rock! Cheers Mel for the loan of the camper too cheers

Special test at Rhayader, that drop off on the right was nuts! You couldn't see over the edge til you were about 6ft away! It went proper against the grain to ride over it flat out  affraid

I got back yesterday, emptied the van, washed the bike then took Helena out for a Chinese! Don't know where I got the energy from! Must have been all those energy drinks and foods kicking in Laughing
I got to say the camping with the guys really made the week too! Didn't stop laughing at the campsite! lol!
