Feature: craig whitney - taffy dakar
Over the first bank holiday weekend in
May, the Western Brecon Beacons and
the Black Mountain echoed to the
sound of Adventure bikes…trail bikes
and a couple of hardy c90’s…as the
second annual Taffy Dakar Motorcycle
Orienteering Challenge swung into
action…
Born out of an idea copied (with their
full support) from the Irish who
previously held the Paddy Dakar, a
now regular fixture on the calendar.
The first event passed with little
remark and few entrants, apart from
the aforementioned Celtic contingent,
who came in some numbers and
enjoyed hugely. Based on what was
learned, a second year was
immediately agreed upon and events
set in motion, much well deserved
publicity followed and entrant
numbers went up some 500%!
A relaxed and fun affair
for all to enjoy!
