The second day was always going to be a tough challenge with the added stress of getting to base at Vioolsdrift in time for the rugby. A good mix of sand , gnarly climbs and good old fashioned adventure riding. Bring it one.

First night at an old favourite - Hondeklip Bay.

And off in search of the sand monsters. 1 x 790 Rally 1 x 890 Rally 3 x KTM 690 Enduro R 1 x Husqvarna 701 2 x KTM EXC 500 All aced the sand . Great bikes and skilled riders.

A good friend’s son had his beloved Transalp stolen from behind a high gate on Friday. Not just a bike but part of his life. Still has a French licence plate (rode it back through Africa) https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1970108719808364&id=100004277650865

Every couple of years I do an 'EXTREME' route in Kaokoland. Not crazy enduro stuff, but a little more challenging than my regular tourists sign up for. Well 2021 isn't going to be a good international tourist year thanks to `Covid , so a great time to squeeze in another of these tough...

Robbie's Pass is one of those legendary passes that we all know about but seldom get the chance to ride. Unless you're lucky enough to have a support van in the area it's a mission getting through with a load of luggage, camping gear and extra fuel. Once every couple of years I take groups on...

KAOKOLAND XTREME WILD RIDE I've had this in mind for a while. A route with all those crazy tough parts of Kaokoland I couldn't offer to the average adventure rider. Perfect for the 500 / 690 guys and I guess the new midsize bikes with an expert pilot. ---------------------------------- A...

Heading up again in two weeks. Never get bored of this tour.

Some cool footage of our December trip. Thanks to Campbell McCurrach and his gang from Adventure Addiicts: https://youtu.be/xuaAp-4ixTA

Sad reality. When I started WildWood tours I figured on a fleet of KLR's or DR650's but soon realised that's not what the market wanted. I went with KTM690's not because they were the better tour option but because the punters wanted the more powerful bling bike, even if 90% of them would be...

No matter if we think locking gates works or not , or whether it's justified or not, the outcome is tragic for the biking community and is likely to keep happening at an ever increasing rate. Perhaps it was inevitable with the rapid growth in adventure biking. The mountain bike scene had the...

Cool Ri, No slacking now. Keep it coming

And don't scoff at the demise of combustion engines in a shorter time than you think possible. As soon as governments incentivise e-car /bike production and give tax breaks it will happen faster than you think. Setting up charge stations costs a fraction of a petrol station as well as a fraction...

I got the feeling this was a vehicle to help Charlie out. I reckon his injuries have exhausted his cash and the team got together as a benefit . Just a hunch. I was bored with long way down & around. To much snivelling and camera emotion but must say loved most of this series. The bikes were...
