looks good, some good tame sections, some good sized rocks to dodge and some nasty bits but enough for everyone to be happy!!

It is some very big rocks trust me I know I grouded a quad bike on one not good.

it has something for everyone, there are some difficuly boggy bits I could not get to so there is allot more than the pics show I am trying to get a prper location but it's proving difficult as it is in the middle of no-where, with no facilitys I afraid, also no safety people.

AAaaah a Quad's got a lot lower Clearance than a Fronty
And most of this lot who have expressed an interest are on A/T or M/T Tyres!
As I said I'm trawling through Aerial Photography trying to locate it too

Sorry Carl, I'm not familiar enough with the Area to give a Site or B&B Details
