Guy Procter, 20 November 2009 09:51

ronlincoln, 17 November 2009 10:29

4000 miles from home, totally disorientated and the guy said he would take us back to Pamporovo “off road” over the mountains. None of us had done off road before except Ken who had to have a go before he came out – he likes to be in front. So we all fired up the bikes and the guy was ...
