ABR Island Rally

Post by AustinW »

My wife went across on a CBR125 in 2010. I was on a Varadero on Conti Road Attacks (pictured and video with Touratech top box). So road tyres and inexperience should not be a problem. It's a soft landing if you drop it anyway.

As I said the walney end is very soft mud but there are two wheel tracks through that dig into the underlying gravel and stone so plenty grip as long you stay in the tracks. There will probably be a couple of deep channels to cross but they change all the time and momentum is key to getting up the other side.

At the island end is a short stone beach then a few hundred yards of mown grassy tracks/walks round the island to the campsite. You can see the route in the aerial photos. It's all easy enough with a bit of commitment.

All being well, I'll be going on this as my wife is away in Holland that weekend, maybe we can get a small group of us together as I know that Orsoncarts and Teej might also be going.
