Another great event put on by the SWINDON M.C.C. that was huge fun to compete in.
I met Safie d on the way round and complemented him on his choice of bike, a very tidy A/R and we had a chance to examine each others bikes more closely , and specifically the undersides as we both went tits up on the same section
, which was for me the start of the rot, and it all fell away to fek from there on in till the special test , on which i managed to set a reasonable time.
We lost Saf somewhere on the way round ,so i,me not sure how he finished, but the last time i saw him he was enjoying himself, as were the crew of the TBM Forum, who were competing in their first LDT ,but i,me fairly sure not their last.
They new the local lanes extremely well , which was useful on a few occasions as the navigator went wrong again,ME
.
Good course ,super weather , sections, just a little tight on turning circles, but having said that ,if your serious about LDTs the CRM would not have been your bike of choice, and at the end of the day they have to take points to sort out a winner, and to lose it on a special test is like a penalty shoot out, yes you get a winner, but not of the game you started in.
I ended up hooking up with 3 chaps from Glastonbury and riding with them. Some of those stages were a learning experience for sure..... 
I managed to get through some clean and enjoyed the last one - set a time of 22,76 sec. Results are in the post - I was at the club last night speaking to Keith and Gary who run the event. Keith won it but there were 5 people who got round the whole thing clean!!! Didn't drop a single point - so as you said - it was down to the last special stage where Keith's KTM525 had the edge on the little Pamperas.
Why don,t you try a Three stage Trial as an introduction to Enduros ,its like half a trial and half an Enduro usually held on private Army land , there a good fun event.
