As the Royal Wedding approached and the nation went mental about the marriage of some German fellow and a “Commoner”, a few of us FJ locals headed down south to enjoy a bit of a road trip.  My own personal enjoyment was hampered by a broken wrist picked up from the bmx track a few weeks before, although on reflection I think I take better shots with two wires and a cast on my arm than I ever did with full function.

So after a 6am start and a few rounds of drum and bass later we rocked up at Swansea to enjoy the offerings at Moo’s trails.  Dan and the crew have put in some serious spade and digger time over winter since our last visit, and it shows. This place is amazing!  Enough chat, some pics from Moos (the rest are on Flickr here)

After staying the night at Moo’s (cheers for use of the Pizza oven guys) we headed down the M4 to stay with friends and let Pam-phlet finally pull one of the backflips he had been harking on about, suffice to say we weren’t impressed.

Next day we headed to the legendary Jimmy Pratt’s trails. As i’m sure your all aware Jimmy is an awesome trails rider and all around nice bloke, especially for allowing a gaggle of northern monkeys onto the trails. The guys from Vinewood also turned upon the day, its always nice to meet other people from the trails community who share the passion for spades and clay!  Good session went down, manged to get a fair number of shots, the bulk of which are on our flickr page.  Here’s the best of.

Massive shouts going out to Dan and the Moo’s boys as well as Jimmy and locals for having us and providing some serious motivation and inspirtion for our own trails! Cheers guys!
