OBSCURITY REVEALED

by

Dear CR

I found it interesting to read the informative letter from Raymond Ainscoe in issue 204 and his view on the Joey Dunlop feature that: “Estonia IS not so obscure.” I’m not so sure.

In 2004 I, together with friends, rode our bikes out to Estonia as part of a 10-country tour, and had the pleasure of staying in Tallin for five days.

Naturally, whilst there, we were interested in looking up the Pirita circuit, so one day a friend and I went to the Information Bureau in the town and asked for directions.

Joey Dunlop Honda 001

Guess what! None of the staff there had a clue as they had never heard of it!

So Raymond, it would seem to be obscure to some: even the locals.
