OK, so from replies it looks like:

Steve ButtPlug
Matt Slowly
Phil Monkey
Chris Motobreaks
and me...

All I can promise is mud, sweat and tears (of laughter, hopefully).

See you at 11-ish on the 27th.

Meantime, Joyeaux Noel NobHeads

Cheers Russ. No recent breakages! But that might be because I'm only allowed a sippy cup these days:

and of course the padded walls and floor help too....

Yeah, good day. Really enjoyed the slop, the endless puddles, streams and woods. The Snifter Xmas Relay Race was a good laugh too. Aching like a bastard now though, having crashed and picked the bike back up eleven times....

Phil and Matt have lots of good pics and some video - to come.

At this point Daves Beta died (No 5) :lol: .......at possibly the worst place ever , we were hacking through dense woodland in the Okavango Delta !!!

Button was diying so lots of kicking took place , on my turn i noticed the kill switch had rolled round and was pressing on the clutch lever !!! once rolled back it fired up first time ............................always look for the obvious ;)

I really like this section of the snifter ride, after days of rain. I think I'll name it Diarrhoea Drive....
