Training for adventure riding isn’t easy. There are some great people offering great coaching, but suitable venues are often a problem. The Honda Australia Roadcraft Training (HART) facility at St Ives in Sydney covers all the bases. Not only is the coaching first class, the venue is purpose-built.

“All this bamboo hanging in from the sides will make vision difficult, too.” Karl showed how to tackle the water crossing.
