Looks like you got lucky with the weather - how wet was it? normally holds up well (not the off piste) but it really has pissed down here for a week now.
I can't wait to get out again.

Nice photo's Gaz - because of a combination of me not riding and Jay not bringing it out that's my first sight of the Scout (what bit I can see). Weather looks great, I am bursting to get back out now I feel like I'm over the worst of this chest thing. Dirk - surprised you being a local lad you've never done the full Donkey. Be good to ride that together as when I do finally get back out I'll need someone to carry my iron lung for me - you up for it? |

Would be up for that Mr Zulu - but who's gonna carry my iron lung? lol
Never felt confident enough to tackle all of the Monkey and my mate who I mainly ride with prefers the off-piste stuff.
Might even have the Mega built by then too lol.

By the way Chris - the off piste stuff is much more technical than the Donkey - you'll piss it.
