Hi Jarvo ,
we went down last year and stayed at the Royal Lion Hotel ,it was ok ,nothing fancy , but spot on as regards the riding .We had a guide called Pete who was laid on for us by the hotel . not sure if every bit of it was all above board but it appeard OK to all of us , once he set off you don`t get much choice in the matter as he was off at a fair lick and only stopped once all day . I would always have another lap round some time it was a great weekend .
I must admit it the idea of the TRF is to help out each other ,see if anyone offers to lead you round ,it was easiest to go with a guide as it was difficult to plan such large millage days out with such a variety of routs in an area so far away .
If you want me to track down our guide , if i can , give me a bell , you can check out his routs are all legal before you commit . Cheers Julian East Yorks TRF Group rep
