We stayed on an extra day after the Tricks In The Sticks Training to do a day’s trail riding around the lanes in Kent. Dougie kindly provided the bikes – a KTM 350 Freeride for me and the big BMW 450X for him. He had also mapped out some suitable routes, probably using some insider knowledge from his role as a director of the TRF (Trail Riders Fellowship).
We followed some trails that clearly had not been used for a long time and were overgrown with brambles, which was fun!
