Riding Out - Click For Pics
Group runs are usually on the last Sunday of the month in the Wiltshire , Somerset or Gloucester area . However … group members ride most weekends locally or further afield .
Runs are regularly organised in Dartmoor , South and
Mid-Wales . We have also been known to venture north , to places like Derbyshire , the Lake District and even Scotland .Less frequently we ride in Europe , such as the Picos de Europa ( Spain ) , France , Mallorca ( Spain ) , as well as the two separate trips to Andorra in July 2001 .
Very occasionally somebody comes up with the hair brained idea that we should ride in another continent , like Africa for example . To date we have visited Morocco , and more recently Mauritania .
Every now and again an alternative day out is organised , such as a classic day's green laning , as well as putting on a stand at a local classic bike show . Some of the members also like to compete in local Enduros , as well as Classic / Long Distance Trials .
The group helps with course marking , score collecting and other general marshalling duties at a number of the local horse events , such as the Longleat Horse Trials , as well as the annual Mountain Bike Challenge held on Salisbury Plain , as well as carrying out voluntary maintenace work on local byways . All of which just goes to show that there is room for all forms of RoW user to enjoy the countryside in harmony .
