Cheers. Social media is quite bad for this, but so often things are portrayed as effortless. As we know in the real world it's not true. On reflection I'm really happy with how the day went, considering most people there have probably been riding offroad from when they were a child. Also it's nice being an underdog, riding there/back and having a bike that's not as 'good' gives you an excuse and alleviates a lot of pressure.
Salisbury plain looks like a great place to explore. There's something a lot more chilled with offroad riding than serious superbikes and their willy waving bhp figures. Highly recommended, although I warn you it's very addictive!
This is the kind of thing I want to do but never actually do because I just go through all the things I'd do wrong and forget about it. Nice job on sticking with it, always helps when there is a friendly face.
Closely watching your CRF trips as I'm seriously interested in one for when I get the full licence. I'm only 15 mins from Salisbury plains, which got me onto the CRF idea.
