2010 Offroading holiday anyone...?

[.....]

Chaps,

After this year's blinding trip to Spain I was wondering if anyone would be up for similar next year?

I was thinking that around the same sort of time of year again, March/April?

Open to any ideas as to where - could do Spain again, could try somewhere else?

Whaddya reckon?

Spookie

I've just been booking up for a September/October one in Spain (different company) and further afield next year

Could be up for something interesting... will see how my Spain trip in a month goes, if it does.

I'd be up for red tread again or another place. Still got 5 days holiday to use. Might go to Wales or something in the next coming months.

Wales sounds good to me, could be tempted by Spain depending on costs etc.

I like the idea of a trip to spain off roading, and i was going to try and sort something out so that i can go with my dad next year. March/April sounds good though, so i am possibly quite interested just depending on cash flow after christmas?

[.....]

I've just emailed these guys about tour length, cost etc.

It looks like a similar set up to Redtread but I think the riding looks a little bit more varied.

If anyone else has seen anywhere promising then post it up.

Does look interesting.
I've been DIYing all day so Mrs J is in a good mood with me. Now is the time to broach the subject.

I was going to show some interest in this until i saw the price

Bear in mind there are flights on top of that, will be pushing around £1100

The trip we did this year to Spain was much cheaper than that but shorter. I'll email him again and ask if they do a 3 dayer.

I'm sure a few people have done 'RTW' on XR600s, so reckon you should be fine . Definitely quite a lot doing massive mileage on KLRs and (the old) F650s.

[.....]

Right, do any of you who are seriously interested have any dates next year that you can't make?

[.....]

Bumpity bump.

Right, I'm back at work, fooked off and need a holiday to look forward to.

Anyone up for going back to Redtread on April the 13th?

Riding is £555, Flights are £105, £100 spending money = £760

Anyone?

[mad4it028]

i would love to but im going kenya in june on safari so thats me skint

I still love the idea of going on an off roading bike holiday. I don't think i will ask my dad about doing something like this together, as he has been diagnoised with a long term muscular illness, so i wouldn't want him to try doing anything like that now really, even though he might like to.

I dont know the stage that some of you BCF guys and girls are at with off road riding, but basically i have done very little since 2002/2003, though i used to ride in trials and motorcross competition as a teenager. I suppose i don't feel as off road confident or have the ability that i used to, but then i havn't been on an off road bike for about 4years, so i don't know how much id still feel confident and able without trying i guess. I don't think you forget how to ride off road, but it's all about practice and keeping your hand in i suppose.

As for a trip if there is anything from May 2010 onwards i think based on a sub £800 cost ceiling that i would be able to cover it and definately be up for something like this. Would be a bit weary if everyone else is a serious off road enduro rider or if they all do regular MX or Trail riding, as i feel i have a bit of catching up to do really.

How many days is that? If it was timed over a weekend I could be a little tempted, but if not, probably good so I'm not tempted .
