There's loads of good stuff at Fort William and last year was good so I'm expecting a good race.

If you stick to the same 'safe' venues, then you end up with a lack of variety, and a pretty stagnant series,

Not only that but you'll massively favour the riders who can ride it regularly. Different venues mixes it up a bit.

A series should have different venues with different challenges and there will always be people who prefer certain courses. I accept poor marking is bad though and should be sorted whatever the event.

Ft Bill had a great race planned last year, the weather hammered it and broke a stage so there were some grumpy faces but if it'd gone as planned it'd have been ace. Laggan was mint last year too.

lolz, they planned it for February, it went exactly as a race in February is ever going to go 🙂

Nah, be fair, it was properly apocalyptic- closed roads and floods and that all over the place. (I ended up spending half of the sunday night waiting to get towed out of a flood near callendar!) Feb was always a bit brave but it was worse than you could expect.

Didn't see that coming - Kelburn have just started advertising uplift days on facebook!

Aye, they have a big ex-military looking vehicle for uplifts.

I really don't like to criticise, as they are the only place locally that are really making an effort, I'd just hate to see the Enduro fall on it's arse, then the negative effect of that of people not coming to the area, and the estate pulling the plug.
