Pure class

You don't do things by halves do you!!!!

I wonder how many are saying " I must do something like that one day"

Haven't written any more yet, but here's a pic of the Multi as close to Erg Chebbi as we could get on road bikes.

The big dune in the background is about a mile away, and the highest sand dune in Morocco. Doesn't look that big in the photo as it really is.


Depending upon which of the locals you believe its between 500 and 1000 feet tall.

We have ridden to the top on dirt bikes before and its absolutely bloody amazing.

I'm not jealous.... honest.....

Shaun I'd love to do something like this, every time I see the Dakar on Eurosport I wish it could be me thrashing across the desert, well maybe pootling along if I am honest.

Lucky bloke!

Yep, at last thanks to a couple of people with brains, namely Lily and Scotch.

Did you get the bike sorted last night?
