Yep home too, lost Martin near home though...
Really enjoyed that, it was loads of fun tearing round. I'd be lying if I said I didn't ache a lot though!

Very glad I did the smart thing and booked tomorrow off work too.

It's been an odd day for changing riding style too.
At first I was riding the crossers sticking my knee out rather than my leg and the last couple of corners going home I kept sticking my leg out!

i'm back as well, got slightly lost in Sheffield as they had changed the road layouts since i bought my tomtom several years ago. Lots of filtering later and I eventually found the A57 and had an awesome ride home
was a good day today, thanks again geoff and john for organising it. I'm definitely not the fastest, but was getting into it by the end of the day. the trick seems to be to relax, which is difficult when you're fighting every instinct in your body as the bike is sliding through the sand.
will try and upload some of the videos soon. I was going pretty slow so you should be able to pick yourselves out on the overtakes

Had a great day, thanks for organising it John. Early night for me tonight, then off to pick up the new bike in the morning

Glad you all enjoyed it (Geoff does the hard work really though it is like herding cats), not many binning it really apart from my mate Craig launching it over the 180 bend down the bottom and Geoff had to drag him back out of the scenery. A few pics here

No idea who is who though, in the main! Bet you're feeling it today though!

Crikey, for a moment there, I thought that Ben was wearing chaps in pic 3.

just uploaded some videos (they should be in HD too)
here's one just before lunch, with some bonus footage of my trying to get it back up the hill and into the paddock
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLZD9MyrfuU
this is one of the last sessions i think (i'm still slow but a bit less shaky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2ZUx7N9D-g
and another one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bIKZCtgLBA
unfortunately the one time i came off i didn't have the video running
should really learn how to edit videos / stop being lazy

Good vids Greg!
I'm in one too, at about 7:30 in the second one I'm on the two stroke that comes past. The only way I can tell is because that 250 was chasing me for ages until I made a mistake.

Looks like you had a fun day out.
Thanks for the videos Greg, looks like some of the tracks Mr Soup drags me down to get to rallies.
