Who should attend: anyone who wants to go riding off into the wide open African countryside, whether it be a day trip around the Koue Bokkeveld or a multi-day adventure to Tanzania.
This is a popular course and the third run since September 2014.
20 places, First booked - first served.
This course has hand outs
Certificates will be given to attendees.
We will cover the various dynamics from :-
What to take with you, what not to take,
what to pack, what not to pack, how not to pack
what the basic methodology is about mass distribution.
unbalanced mass = uneven tyre wear = sore lower back, sore neck.
We look at the principles of loading the bike and yourself, and the approach to deciding what must go, and how much.
Avoid intense frustration due to poor packing principles.
Come learn from the team that adventure rides on multiple day and day rides out into the wilds.
Simple is best,
Less is more
Basic common sense rolled out from wide experiential knowledge in adventure touring, rigging and self rescue.
