the local lanes round here aint to bad, D71 has taken me out 2 or 3 times and nothing too major. alot of them 'could' be done alone but i dont think i'd do it just yet, there are 1 or 2 places where you 'could' get stuck in some rutted mud and a couple of lanes are very scratchy with close fences so could get a little tight. there's also the danger of overhanging branches that CAN rip front wings off, as i found out to my cost (within 15 minutes of my very 1st lane!!).
can highly recommend taking a trip or 2 with D71, he knows the lanes and will only take you where your ability and confidence will cope with. hopefully il land this job on thursday an il be able to join up on a few runs in the future, my disco's lookin WAY to clean at the mo!!
