    Be warned! Don't go after lots of rain on a big one. The lower crossings (downstream)are the deepest from memory and I think there was about 7 crossings of the same river. The sight of a friend completely submerged along with bike (and I mean completely submerged!) although amusing was not much fun for him or us afterwards.....an hour to get his bike going and him getting hypothermia. Was funny seeing a headlamp switched on gazing at us from beneath the waves....dive dive dive

    The same happened to mate of mine on his AR250, took bloody ages to get going.

    Was so funny through, he had the last laugh through when I had a big off.

    One of the disadvantages of having a great job as a sports photographer is the fact that most of the time it's a rubbish job, because I'm working when everybody else is off, enjoying themselves, riding the Florida Strata.

    So if anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful

    Cheers

    Rich

    Did you ever get a GPX file on here? I did it last year, was great, but like to plot it in my new Sat map.

    Also do you know of where I can down load other routes?

    I have some to share of north wales

    iF you want to do the route Phil w and myself do the route several times a year rain, sun, snow but we are going to avoid ice this year. the best time is when it has not rained for 3 days at least.

    Never did get the route so if you have a GPX file that would be brilliant

    Gotta try it when it is dry though because I have sold my xr650r and at the moment have only got my mighty XTZ850 - so dry is definately best

    Do you want my email address so you can send me the route

    if so try picdesk (at) richeaton (dot) com

    thanks loads

    IKWYM, I can remember taking a mate on a tour of some of the easier routes the TRF was riding at that time, in a Suzuki jeep. Had a great time until I tried the water splashes and found that a Suzuki will float..... 10 yds downstream, I found some grip again and poured on the juice and we clambered out! Never understimate welsh rain!!
