I does my best

Great pics Martin, good to meet you again this morning!

[tattman]

Was there today around one and could clearly see the tracks unless someone else has done it also. Looked bad for us I thought

[skipper]

Any pics of the terrain you had to cross to get to that remote one
I've been considering this lately

[Playtime]

wouldnt even think about it on your baby Skipper
when you go off the road you have a sharp right turn on gravel and a long difficult winding track up to photopoint
would be very surprised / shocked to see anything other than a GS / off road boike getting up there

[Playtime]

such a lovely day and had a few errands to do around town
after calling in to Iggy in Benzine motorcycle tyres to order a new set of rubber went to Lusk
Pulled uo at Martin Finnegans memorial seat and a man was cleaning the stones etc
got chattin about the weather biking etc and turned out it was Martins Da
he kindly posed for a photo with me and even invited me to his house for tea but had to decline as had to get back to Duberland

a few pics Here

Recommend when you get there, park the bike and take a stroll up first, I went up most of the way on the GTR and was sorry I did, was on me own and if the bike went over I was stranded, The chair is beyond the big stone in the pic

It doesn't look like FJR friendly terrain, especially when shod with Metzler Z6 rubber. The last time I took the bike down a dirt track I almost got stranded:

Looks like the same sort of terrain as the Cavan point last year - probably best left until the summer dry period imho

So, I'm guessing you were the big bloke on the Pan and your mate was on the chopper thing? I was on the red VFR.

I had an interesting moment near the train on a back road completely covered in mud. My pal who was behind me said I was like Randy Mamola going from one side of the road to the other with the back wheel lepping into the air. I felt just lucky to stay on, not at all like a stunt hero.

I was there yesterday. Defo need to keep the antennae up in this area. I enjoyed a wobble on a line of gravel on a bend. We passed a sign saying "No votes here until our road is repaired". Not the worst roads in the country, but tricky in places.
