As the title says has anyone else booked the last week in August with Trail addiction?
I'm really looking forward to it but will definitely be slowest rider there!

Nope 4th Aug for me.
Trying out the 'Destination x' option this year.
Have you been before ?
Nope - Have you?
I'd been keen to hear your experience or any tips.
4th of August for us
I am there 25th to 28th Aug. Not been before and not sure which accommodation I am in - my mate has booked it.
anyone got any tips for must do's or just leave it to the guides?
Let us know how you get on Tracey and I look forward to meeting you Camerone!
We're doing destination-x on the 11th of August :o)

Will do, stripping my old Enduro this weekend to take some spares with us. One week today and we will be driving through France
If you've not been before, the first day can be a shock to the system, but hang in there and you'll lap it up, . . . . .
make sure your brakes are awesome and your fork is plush . . .
mine weren't that great and my hands suffered for it, careful of chunky grips like Oury's they killed my hands . . .
Be prepared to come off . . .
Got back a couple of weeks ago - had a really got week. Chris who guided for us was excellent and very good at catering for a mixed ability group and finding something everyone seems to enjoy (or tolerate at least.....)
Spare pads and tyres sensible, as is checking nothings woked loose with all the descending - I lost a brake caliper bolt and managed to pull hose out after losing it. Made for an interesting half day with just a front brake - on the long day trip.
We did a day trip 9-6.30pm ish out towards Courcheval direction up Mt Jovet. Then an amazing long descent through alpine meadows and the woods below - one of the best days.
I took knee and elbow pads but only ended up using the knees, we were a bit more XC than some of the other guys out there.
Have a good trip
Destination-X for 18th, the facebook photos show it's just the sort of riding I was looking for.
@donncha I seriously doubt you could be slower than me, pity you are there a week after !
