Kickstart training... well, not quite. Running alongside the orienteering and the river crossing was some gentle off road skills. Perfect for the first timer to gain a grin and confidence of just what you can get done with your motorbike. The layout was simple and the instruction was friendly and full of good humour as you would expect from the Haggs Bank crew. It just became such a well balanced and thought out beginner friendly introduction to dual sport play. So regardless if you’re a fully fledged Trail Rider Fellowship God (No, not you Thor) or if you just passed your test and came up on a Suzuki 125 VanVan it was covered and you were welcomed. Settled later in the day under the big marquee to chat, drink and laugh about the events that have been going on was a perfect round off. The two local guys that pitched with a guitar and a fiddle just made some wonderful background folk music. Playing softly was key, you could still chat without a raised voice but the soft tunes kept the foot tapping while savouring a pint of real ale that was on offer. It was the perfect end to a perfect event. See you at the next meeting?
