Some of this trip is going to be off road. I've never been off-road (well not intentionally) so I thought I'd better go and get some training. BMW run an offroad training centre in the Brecon Beacons so Mike and I went for the weekend (http://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/world-of-bmw/off-road-skills/level-one).
Great fun dashing round in the mud, up hill and down dale on BMW 650 and 1200 GSs. Absolutely fantastic for building confidence. The main thing I learnt was how to fall off gracefully and how to pick up a 1200 GS without putting your back out (12 times in one day). Thanks to everyone who was on the course that weekend. Ride safe.
