Desert Rose at ABR 23
Wow, what a weekend. The ABR Festival has grown over the years into one of the best motorcycle events in the UK and probably Europe. With some 12,500 people attending for the weekend, which actually starts on Thursday afternoon we are always kept busy.
This year we were invited to host Trail Briefings each morning on the Tenere Stage, giving riders some basic hints and tips about the trails and importantly the riding techniques that would keep them safe.
We ran numerous taster sessions of our Stage 1 training courses to give festival goers an idea of how we go about delivering our training courses. Hearing people telling us later in the weekend that they used our training to properly enjoy the trails gives us a real buzz.
We were also able to talk to festival goers about the various rallies that we attend and support each year, from non competitive raids, through to full on competitive road book rallies through the Sahara and on to Dakar.
It is always great meeting up with both old friends and new riders, all keen to talk about their off road adventures.
We will definitely be back there for 2024, get the dates in your diary now and check out the ABR website as tickets are already on sale here

The Morocco 1500
Wow!
What an event, we took 50 riders from Marrakesh, down to the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga, then back up through the national park of Ifrane to Fes.
With over 30 riders tackling the Trail Edition, riding through the desert, through river beds, up long steep mountain passes and across the dunes this was an epic adventure.
The Tarmac Edition saw riders hit the heights of the High Atlas mountain range, ride some incredible mountain switchbacks, cross the desert to get to the “Bond Volcano” film location and have adventures of their own getting across, round and through some of the many washed out roads.

CampVC 2024
Wow!!!!!! CampVC never fails to deliver. What a great weekend. Super cool to meet up with so many riders who were with us at previous Camps and to meet new riders.
Everyone threw themselves into the enduro school sessions we put on over the 3 days and they all went away with new skills and a love of riding off road motorcycles.

Malle Mile ’24
2024 saw the 10th Edition of the incomparable Malle Mile. Set in the grounds of the beautiful Grimsthorpe Castle this is a one of a kind event.
Inappropriate motorcycles being raced across the castle lawns and down the castle driveway, with fire eaters, world renowned wall of death show, art exhibition, live music, fire works, moto polo and 1500 motorcycles on a scramble around the grounds each morning.
Harry yet again spending a weekend mainly on the back wheel of one of our Beta enduro bikes, all in the name of his role as Marshal of course.
