Even more new trails , bit tight on the Donk and the downed tree in one pic was a bit much on my own

For all the trails you go down you need a chainsaw attachment on the bike 8-) :D

I recommend the Fiskars SW73 or SW75 Xtract saws, suprisingly easy to saw through branches and small trunks.

Do you have a source for these VTT trails around the Dordogne? My Brother has a place in Nontron and we are thinking of trailering the bikes down at some point to try a bit of trail riding while down there.

Source here for VTT routes, https://www.utagawavtt.com/search?city=Nontron&w=[-0.25085,44.63108,2.00135,45.96789]&q=[1,2,3,4]&k=0&l=all&u=1&aa=10
Be aware that strictly speaking not all of these will be legal for motos.

you'll have to sign up to download the gpx tracks. What you see on this site is not that extensive outside of the popular vtt areas, in reality you'll find loads of tracks yourseves just by going out and exploring

I live about 20 km north of Nontron, loads of tracks about here so i haven't needed to go down towards Nontron. Happy to email you some gpx tracks in my area if you want, nothing too challenging , mainly wooded tracks , some rocky bits with the odd water crossing .

Otherwise as I say it's fun to just go out exploring and dive down any likely looking track that isn't obviously barred to vehicles. Outside of the main holiday season and weekends you're not likely to meet anyone expect maybe forestry workers and farmers.
