The Exercise Wander events are 2 day unsupported trail rides with at least one night under poncho.  Teams are provided with a series of check points to visit with a corresponding set of questions to be answered.  The team with the highest score at the end of the weekend are declared the winners.  Points are also awarded for postive attitude, good field administration/campcraft and for effective machine preparation, campcraft and leadership.  GPS are banned - the events are designed to encourage back to basic survival skills and drills!

Ex Winter Wander Report 13 and 14 Feb 10

Many thanks to Caroline, Al, Brett, Chris, Steve, Buster, Royal, Paul, Mark, Dave, Pete and Grant for making the effort to attend the Winter Wander event held at Stonehenge Campsite, Berwick St James - sadly Craig blew up another bike on route and had to turn to the AA for help - weak!  The weather was nippy, but generally kind with a short hail shower during the Sat evening.  Some excellent riding was executed in slippery conditions interspersed with a hearty meal and one or two beers in the the local pub.  Breakfast was cooked by all around an open fire and was a very enjoyable and social experience.
