Off-road riding in SW England

[Baron Bolton]

This doesn't seem quite the right place to put this thread, but I couldn't find a better one.

I live near Bristol in the UK, and I'm interested to see if there's anyone in the area that's interested in some off-road riding.
I've ridden most of the green lanes in this area, and would like to team up with some HU folks for a ride-out sometime. I'm no expert, or motocross racer, but I hopefully won't hold anyone up.

So if you live in this area, or will be passing through anytime soon, give me a shout, and maybe we can give it as shot.
I ride a gasgas EC300, but may take my XR650 if it's looking like more of a road biased ride.

HI Gabriel

That sounds like a bit of a plan we are in Bournemouth and have done most of the lanes round here so if we could get together we could show you some new stuff down this way a you could show us round up your neck of the woods

I won’t be able to go for a month or so because of work and I’m off to the Alps in June for 10 days but I will drop you a line when we get back
I ride an XT600 and my Son has a DRZ400
I ride like the old git that I am and my son rides in the normal manner of the youth of today i.e. flat out every where

Bob that sounds spot on, be good to do some new lanes, the ones round here are getting a bit old.
I'll grab the work van, and make a day of it. You're more than welcome up here, there's more than enough to keep us entertained for a day.

I think I might fit in quite well between your leisurely pace, and your sons race spirit.

Did you come up for the pub meet in Blagdon? I'm sure there were a few people from Bournemouth.

Anyhoo, enjoy the alps. Any chance you're doing the HUMM this year, I was thinking it'd be nice to meet some other folks on the way down somewhere.

No Bob did not ride upto Blagdon, I used to off road with Bob but I do not have an off roader at the moment. I rode up to Blagdon with a couple of freinds, it was a good day out, I hope they do the camping weekend that they were talking about.

Anyway hope your trip down to Bournemouth comes off.

Colin.

Colin, I remember you I'm sure, neckerchief and a.. KTM?

We are doing the camping weekend we were talking about, the HU page will go up tomorrow, announcing dates.

Charlotte and I are still in the process of sorting details out, but we've got a location and marquee. We hope to see you there!

Hi Gabriel
No I didn’t get up to the meet at Blagdon as I was working but Colin told me that I Had missed a good one
I will get to the camping weekend if I can so will see you there do you have a date for it yet?
And Colin the Triumph will be back on the road soon so you can passenger me on that or use my XT

I do get a lot of days off in the week when I’m at a lose end so if any one is up for mid week off-roading send me a message
