Today’s public holiday, accompanied by superb weather, provided an ideal opportunity to enjoy the dunes at Altantis. Although a film shoot was taking place, which meant that part of the area was ‘out of bounds’, there were plenty of places to ride and to test one’s skills.

It is always an honour to ride with those far more skilled than oneself – not only is it enthralling to watch their use of acquired expertise, but one also learns through observation and through the many pointers that are kindly offered.

Pleco, Rubicon, Roost, Teach, Krag Kris and Gareth, thank you for a most enjoyable morning.
