Newbie North Wales - Globetrotter to be!

[Walty79]

Would love too but don't have a bike at the moment. Unless you're camping somewhere I can get easily by car?

What I'd really like is someone that has 2 off road bikes that would be willing to go out with me on some green-laning, as I've never done it . Costs covered by me obviously. Was thinking of BMW's school....but at £500 plus accommodation, it's too much out of my kitty

There’s also Honda Adventure in Wales not far from BMW also very good teachers ,I’ve just done two days with them. There’s also Mick extance who does experience days on Honda 250s.

If you are looking for a bit of green lane experience then you could do a lot worse than take a day out with Gaz (skygod) from this forum. Contact him at adventure bike warehouse in Manchester. I believe he is in the region of £250 for a days tuition but don't hold me to that.

If you do get to the Yorkshire camping weekend then we may meet up as I am hoping to get off work to attend.

Re luggage it's not just about weight. Soft luggage will absorb the impact of a fall much better that metal ones. On my Spanish TET and Vibraction Trans Pyrenees Route I used soft luggage plus a small Pelicase as a secure topcase.
Loaded up...

Absorbing the inevitable fall...

Just a view...
