Now that was wet! Taking on the infamous Strata Florida in Wales on the Honda Africa Twin

With over 9 river crossings the Strata Florida is a very fun legal byway in Wales. It’s wide enough for big 4x4s but also great fun on two wheels. But be warned…it is a wet ride! Both with a lot of puddles and standing water that tend to been murky with hidden rocks, and also from the many rivers, it can be a sporty ride - making it my best green lane. This was a day riding with two friends, I was on the Honda Africa Twin along with Alex, and then Nick was on a Tenere 700 - all three ADV bikes are largely standard with the addition of some extra protection bars / plates. We’d had a few dry days so the water was manageable on the big ADV bikes but certainly some hairy deep parts, with 9 river crossings the Strata Florida is not one for after heavy rain.
This is quite possibly… one of my favourite byway green lanes in the UK.
I hope you enjoy watching.

Watching this inspired me enough to want to give it a go despite being a newbie at motorcycling in general and a total novice at trail riding. I had an excellent day riding with an experienced fellow TRF member who is teaching me the pleasures of green laning in the UK. Thank you, Vanessa, for sharing such a great video. I can't wait to get back out on my bike again - just have to wait for my broken hand to heal first.

@keyboarddancers7751 2 года назад

The Africa Twin is growing on me. It's obviously big enough to maintain autobahn speeds for hours on end in comfort yet with its effective seat placement design, it doesn't seem too intimidating when traversing rocks, sand, water or mud (as very ablely and effectively demonstrated by *The Girl On A Bike)* and all without spending oodles on suspension updates. When you look at the comparative prices of T7s and ATs on the new and definitely the secondhand market, there's a very good case to be made for delving just a bit deeper in your pocket for the Honda. It can obviously go off-road virtually anywhere that the T7 can go, so you might as well treat yourself to the AT's *additional* luxury highway cruising ability as well. I'm not sure all these same comparisons can be drawn with any of the other litre+ ADV mounts.

Whats the best gear to keep your feet dry, when you are in the deep water, Are you wear drystar gear

@TheGirlOnABike 2 года назад

Honest answer is accepting you'll have we boots. But!! I highly recommend seal skinz socks. I wear these and they are quite long up to my knee so just above my boot. The water will always go into the boots as it just goes over the top. Hubby has the drystar and would not recommend. Water goes over the top and then as they're are waterproof just stay flooded where as other boots drain. He also finds then sweaty. Much prefers normak boots. The water proof socks mean your skin is dry in a wet boot 👌
