SW France trail riding/camping trip May 13th to 17th 2013. The trip could be extended to five days if there's enough interest.


For those who've not been before, Gazz's post sets the scene:

"If you've ever fancied the real dual-sport thing of living on your bike, camping and trail-riding, then this is the perfect introductory week for you.
This is not a beginners week, some of the tracks are too technical for that and you need to have a bit of endurance about you because even though the days are not of great distance, the track density is high and not many of them are of the open and flowing kind. It can be really hot and humid and it can be wet.
What you don't see from the pics are the brilliant woodland tracks, long and tricky ones that follow rivers; the white gravel-strewn tracks amongst the apple orchards; the great number of uphill and downhill tight u-turns in forests; the endless arrays of tree roots making natural ladders that you have to get over. Think of the best lanes in Wales and multiply that experience by ten. Seriously. There are not many ruts or much mud. There are 3 river crossings that can be avoided if necessary. There is *one* gate in 4 days.
You can easily do this trip in one week from the UK, out on Saturday and returning the following Saturday".

Timpo had already brought it to our attention. But it falls smack in the middle of the exam period for my Russian evening courses... Will have to wait until the exact exam dates have been decided.

Already booked it Bernard ..................it's on my door step so it'd be rude not to
