Thank you very much for a great day. Patsy is an excellent tutor who can show as well as teach. All the group were very happy with the days training. I can’t wait to get some time in Morocco with this team 🙂
Philip Hutchinson, Stage 1 Group Session
Thank you for a superb training day. We had a “2-2-1” session with Harry – first class instruction, great tracks and quality bikes. Highly recommended to anybody wishing to improve their off road skills. Hope to be back soon !

BeRightBack @ Desert Rose 2026
Now in its 3rd year, the annual BeRightBack day at Desert Rose never fails to deliver.
Be Right Back is a growing community for women in and around the automotive world, where passion for bikes and cars, connection and experience-making collide. It was created out of the real need for women who felt like they didn’t quite fit into the typical automotive scene and wanted a supportive, fun and empowered space to meet like-minded people, build friendships and enjoy the culture together.
BRB hosts a wide range of events from casual social meet-ups like breakfast gatherings and drive-outs to special celebrations like International Women’s Day collaborations and women-centred track days and off road riding experiences. All designed to bring women together around bikes and cars in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
At its heart, BRB is about connection over horsepower, linking women who love bikes and cars not just for the machines, but for the people, experiences and shared stories that make automotive culture richer and more inclusive. If you want to know more about BeRighBack jump onto their website here.

CampVC 2026 10th Anniversary
We have been coming to CampVC for some years now and it really has grown.
This year for their 10th Anniversary the team asked if we could bring more bikes. Never one to step back from a challenge Patsy made sure we upped our game.
We took 20 electric dirt bikes; OSET TXP 24s, EM Escape XRs, an Arctic Leopard and of course our brand new fleet of Zero X line bikes. Add to that 16 of our Beta enduro bikes some of our own bikes, the Triumph TF 250 E, Yamaha TTR 125 and Patsy’s Dakar bike from 2004, a KTM 660.
