Thanks Deeno and Simon.
You get that living on the edge.
It was a surprise to me, I'll tell you! I've ridden through a lot worse than that over the years... I suppose I'd have wheelied or power slid through it on my old XR 600...

But realistically, Anakees aren't mud tyres - but if you look closely at the tracks in the last photo the rear tyre (not long off new) was working well. Its just that its the front one that's important...
