LAST EVENT FEEDBACK REVIEW - APRIL 2023 - 5 STARS
I really enjoyed the Fishing Expedition Audax at the weekend. It was a great route and gave me a chance to explore some roads I have never travelled before. Really well organised too and thank you for the food and drinks before and after the event including a tasty veggie chilli.
