Date of trip: November 10-13 2016
Motorbike: 2011 BMW GS 800
Experience level of rider: Novice (I have owned a bike for 6 months, though I do commute with it daily)
Off-road training complete: None (I have watched a number of basic off-road riding YouTube videos)

Day 1: 300kms covered (6 hours on the road)
