HUMM 2009 The muddy hole

A very muddy hole that most chose to avoid. Team Charlies Angels didnt - in fact not only did we get this drz400 thro but also an Africa Twin and KTM 690. It was a rather muddy afternoon!

Cheers Jon. That last km ascent to the wonky pole is one of the only parts of the event I did NOT ride. Why? because the map showed a footpath shortcut that cut it out. Lois and I attempted the shortcut on our way up and got into a major tangle of trials work. It took about an hour to do about 600m!

Its the little struggles like this that make the event!! And we certainly got some looks when we got back to the hotel caked in mud!! Every one else seemed far cleaner!!

@aevmondo

if my memory serves me right it was on the way to the wonky pole clue - it was possible to drop down towards the pole but we came up from a track below the pole - which I dont think was the best route!! The drz and a ktm 690 were one thing but the AT was another matter!!! It was really the only mud we encoutered!!

Amazing, We got very stuck at this exact spot and spent an hour throwing sticks into those water hole which only made it harder to ride through. At one point I was on the puddle side and we were pushing a DR650 along the edge when my friend pushed the bike on top of me I ended up in the biggest hole with said bike on top of me. Great times, We thought we were the only one to encounter what we described as the Unimog track AFTER A RAIN STORM FROM HELL. Dai Team Dizzy Rascals
