Oopnarth, preparations - Biker Dom's biggest challenge yet?

Tomorrow Biker Dom will head off for what could be his biggest challenge yet: a trip to the fabled land of Oopnarth. Famed for its beautiful vistas, but wild and unpredictable local inhabitants, it's a land of lakes, hills, and inclement weather.

The roads should be mostly OK, but like in most of the exotic places Biker Dom has travelled to, the rules of the road are mostly made up, even if they are written down.  The big towns should have reliable electricity and infrastructure, but in the smaller outlying villages, where much of the region's charm lies, modern civilisation has barely had a chance to take hold.  However, the local people are known to be mostly friendly and welcoming, but communicating with them may prove tricky, as efforts to bring education to the masses has proved challenging with English only spoken in a few places.

Mobile phone coverage will also be patchy so Biker Dom's blog updates may be sporadic.  I'll do my best.

I'm looking forward to meeting up with a few of my biker buddies again as we take on this new challenge - bring it on!
