page 2    2013    Andreu Codina   feature    Interview

We drove past over heating pigs lying in the sun, rusty tractors , olive trees. It was beautiful but we werent getting any closer.
We then tried our third track and it just kept getting closer and closer to Andreu's satellite navigation marker. We bumped along for 4 miles and if there has been a gate stopping our way we would have wasted a lot of time .

Then on a steep down hill there was a sharp switch back left hand corner with a massive drop off in front. Looking at the Sat nav i knew i was near. I looked up and this is what i saw .
It transpires we were already on Andreu's land. His house sits in 800 Acres of peace and tranqility

So , back in the car and we follow the track down the hill in the general direction. The land is just perfect for trials. Id go further and say its a dream location for a trials rider. Just imagine the size of the enduro or trial you could hold on this land . There were steep hills , streams , woodland , clear rocky banks , huge open areas .....everything .....but i didnt see any mud :)

Then we drive out of the woods , past piled up logs and with a beautiful swimming pool on our left and the house on our right we pulled up. As soon as we approached the house we were met by the Codina's general helper who lives in at the house permanently. 
We were met by XXXXX who explained that Andreu was on his way home from work and would be here very soon. A few moments later Andreu arrived on his huge BMW GS Enduro bike. A little later i took this photo of all the family.
