TAFFY DAKAR Motorcycle Orienteering

The UK’s Premier Motorcycle Orienteering Event

The Taffy Dakar is a unique adventure motorcycling challenge held annually in the heart of south Wales. Running since 2014, the event combines the thrill of navigational riding with the energy of a festival atmosphere, attracting hundreds of riders from across the UK and Europe.

Participants navigate scenic trails and hidden routes using maps and question sheets — no GPX files, no shortcuts — just pure skill and planning. Evening brings the chance to socialise, watch live bands and engage with the adventure rider community.

Proudly organised as not-for-profit, the Taffy Dakar donates all proceeds to good causes, including Wales Air Ambulance and Blood Bikes Wales as well as a number of smaller local charities and youth groups. It is an event with purpose as well as passion. Whether you’re a rider, exhibitor, or sponsor, the Taffy Dakar offers a platform to connect with the UK’s adventure motorcycling community.
