1000 miles is 1000 miles, however on home soil seems less daunting than 1000 miles through say Africa. So yeah, I’d be up for this :ermm:
What has been your approach is the past, i.e. when to head up to Squires, are you planning on a particular route this year?

#3

I normally head up on the Friday afternoon get the signing on out of the way, there is also a riders briefing in the evening. :slight_smile:
This year I am doing North Clockwise Route A. I prefer the northern routes as it gives you a chance to ride in Scotland. :slight_smile:
Plan your route plan your fuel stops then ride your plan. The ride can be done in 24hours without busting your balls just don’t waste time on long stops.

#4

Just waiting to see if I can get a pass , and if me wingman is around !!

#5

Couldn’t you wait until we got the Elephant and dragon out of the way first :slight_smile:

I’ll try not to break any bones this time

#6

Mark are you not banned from this event for making it look too easy?

#7

Driven and seen a good part of the south so north does sound more appealing.

Closer to the time I might get you to cast an eye over my route plan at BM one night :Whistling:
If Jobys’ comment is anything to go on!

#8

Both of those events involve camping so don’t interest me. :smiley:

I’ve got boss permission. Temptation may win this time.
