I will like to say thank you for coming to my school to day at corpus but I did like your message to us in the school and I appreciate your time spent teaching us about your life and all the ups and downs and how you got thru it thank you I hope you have a good day and days to come
Aw thank you so much, i am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you for being part of it ❤️
Back in the 80's some sailboat yuppies loved to show off that they could afford to have expensive boats. They didn't know how to navigate with nautical charts, so they followed the coast lines (the best that they could) and as soon as they hit a harbour they anchored up and visited the nearest coffee shop or some such to get a little paper bag or similar that might reveal in which port/town they were. In Simrishamn - a town where I grep up - they did understand this, and Thulins Konditori printed GPS coordinates on their paper bags to "help out" the amateurs of the Baltic sea.
You have a lot more talent, and a lot more skill, in reading your road book and finding out where you are, or where you should be.
Oh wow, super interesting!
Thanks for sharing the road book with us. Very informative for me I've never tried this.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks dude
I new most already but a damn good explanation there I would say plus interesting personal preferences, thanks
Aw wow thank you. That’s lovely to hear. Glad you enjoyed
Oh, I recognize that style of mapping from back in the day doing road moves. We called them "control points" on our route guides (pre-GPS days).
I still use a variant even now when I write out directions to various new locations onto index cards.
You're a TH-cam ninja. No idea how you managed to watch this already ha ha love that your write it our to follow.
@@TheGirlOnABike I haven't watched it yet, I was commenting on the notification page/alert/thing.. I'm looking forward to the video when it does release next year :)
@@VosperCDN ah few haha I thought I had messed up the visibility! Thanks dude
Such a good video! I’ve been really enjoying your rally series. Definitely inspired me to get out and learn to ride off road. So much so I was thinking of signing up to one of the Rallymoto events with my 790.
Aw thanks so much! You should definitely give it a go!
You are rich rider 👊👊👊❤️❤️
🙂
This is a great and simple intro to road books, thank you for it! You are very inspirational for someone who is looking to get into this sport after years of enduros
aw that's super cool to hear, thanks dude. Love that you're looking to try rally. You'll love it!!
@@TheGirlOnABike I will print out the "do not ride faster than you can navigate" on my handlebars!!!
Your husban is a lucky one! :)
aw thanks, I'm lucky to have him too
I see you on Africa Eco Race.... I'll be there next year :)@@TheGirlOnABike
Woooo!
Awesome...very informative video. Love you videos always lots of tips etc...although im new to this and off traveling on my new triumph 900 in the summer I need to learn as much as I can. Your knowledge and experience is certainly helping ...thank you 😃
Mega glad to hear that you enjoy them and they are helping you 🙂
Road Book looks like there's a large learning curve. Great Video👍
good description hehe, there sure is
Incredible lesson on rally navigation. Really adds to an already challenging event. Thanks for sharing👍
Thanks Paul, super happy to hear you enjoyed. It definitely escalates the fun! hehe
Hi its me one of the kids you saw at temple learning academy I was at the front
aw hey! Thanks for saying hi, it was great to be at your school today
Interesting stuff. Need more instruction on this though
Hey girl on a bike. It is a very good tutorial. It quite a good radar detector..scan and scribe to paper.. 😊
hehe thanks dude
Epic video, loved this! This series has been fantastic!!!!!!
aw wow, thank you!! Yey that makes me smile, it really means a lot to me, thank you...two more episodes to come!!
Great content. Just entered my first amateur rally (Open Roads Rally in Victoria, Australia). The kit will be far simpler - we're using a smart phone road book app. For the new riders, would be really helpful if you could run us through some turn-by-turn navigation examples and troubleshooting advice. Advice for back-tracking etc (?).
That sounds like mega fun! Oh thanks for the tip, i will try and work on something 🙂
Good work and looking lovely
Thanks
This is very interesting, and a great informative video! thank you. Ride Safe!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Rodney
Great explanation - very educational !
aw yey, thanks Robert, happy you enjoyed
Used a road book in the Cross Country Chase last September. Ten days and 2400 miles across the US from Illinois to California. Adds a whole new level of effort to riding. Was riding a foot clutch, hand shift 1940 Indian Chief motorcycle and made it!
Oh mega! Sounds like an awesome time!
What tips would you give about rally riding etiquette (if there are any)? What level of technical riding difficulties will you encounter, is there a level indicated when a rally is advertised?
What rallies would you advise to a beginner (I'm Fr based mostly but GB is fine too, or nearby in europe)?
That's all for now, thanks! 🙃

hi remember me i was the one who ask you if you could wheelie and i thought your story was very expireing
Aw thank you. Yeah I remember you. Thanks for saying hi
Hey Vanessa. What's the difference between Liasons and waypoints? I've only ever ridden roadbooks as one continuous stream of tulips and worry I may be getting penaly points unessecarily. Keep up the good work.
Liaisons are untimed parts of the race, for example travelling from the Bivouac to the start line. Waypoints are specific locations on the course that you must pass through during the race. 🙂 I hope that helps and thanks for watching yey!
Loved this series! Well done on the Rally! You keeping the tiger or is it going back? You gonna miss the bike?
thanks so much dude, that's such lovely feedback! So I'll defo miss the Tiger, I absolutely love that bike, such dream
Hi Vanessa
Love what your doing especially on all the adventure bikes I noticed there is 2 different types of Dakar navigation paper and digital what are the different rules and when are you only allowed to use paper and digital?????🏍️🏴🏍️🏴🏍️🏴
It’s more than paper is what we’ve been using and the organisers are slowly switching over to digital. For cars it’s already there but bikes it’s hard for the durability and reliability on handlebars
Vanessa, what is the penalty for missing a way point, in the Six Day rally in Baha it was 20 minutes for each way point missed?
Waiting for your next race sequence. Hope your weekend was a good one.
It tends to vary by race and event. In this one it was more about the points you did get for hitting a waypoint, so the more you hit the better the score.
Why are roadbooks still on paper rolls, Vanessa? Wouldn't a digital version work better? I like your statement: Don't ride faster than you can navigate. Günter/Nürnberg
haha that's a good point....so technically the industry is moving to a digital roadbook but for bikes it's a little more complicated due to how vulnerable the roadbook is on the handle bars, also the light to be able to see the screen in different lighting. I think it's going to come and we're close but for now the paper and duck tape wins
@@TheGirlOnABike Ah yes, you're right. I forgot about the bright sunlight on a large screen. And its dependency on electricity.
Couldn’t do it I would ride faster than I could read the map would remove the fun and annoy the sh-t out of me I don’t think it is something you pick up overnight but you being superwoman no problems enjoy
hehe that's made me giggle, yeah you defo have to slow down but I think that works well for me as I am not fast anyway hehe
do you getto see the routebefore the race as in can I get the map then travel roudit marking what I would need to mark before the race??
Nop, no maps allowed or available. It's all down to the symbols in the roadbook as you race
@@TheGirlOnABike thanks for th reply.
