A few shots I took. Did a few brilliant lanes. Thanks to the Wiltshire lot for organising and planning it all.

We're going at the end of July mate!

Maybe we should start looking out to see who else wants to go?

Was a very good weekend.

Shame about the tyre but at least I've got a piece of slate to remind me of my Welsh 30th birthday laning weekend.

Some of the routes we used are stunning. Some technical stuff too.

It was an awesome weekend. We even had a total green lane Virgin pick up a 410 on route and navigate the lanes, baptism of fire that was. I can't wait to go again.

But please for the love of god if we go again can we actually get it on the road in the morning.
