Final thoughts

What an amazing experience and one I would repeat tomorrow if I had the chance. Eight days of continuous off-road riding through varied and sometimes extremely tough terrain with 88 like minded bikers. The presence of Princes William and Harry just added an extra element to the event to make it even more memorable.
Three great charities have benefited from our efforts and I would like to thank everyone that has so generously sponsored me.
In addition, we supported another charity, Touch Africa, while there by helping at a creche during our rest day. We painted the creche, repaired furniture and built some swings. Only little things, but they were appericated and hopefully will benefit the children for many years to come. Future Enduro riders will return and make further improvements.
The last day was quite emotional for everyone, from saying goodbye to the organisers at the hotel to parting from our members of our teams at Heathrow airport. Many friends have been made along the way and hopefully we will keep in touch and share memories from time to time.

A highly enjoyable read about a challenging journey. I have never ridden off road and have always fancied having a go. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
