A very good day out in beautiful sunshine. Dad & I really enjoyed it. Last couple of hills were good new sections. The Imp got back home in one piece which is important!!
Mark The last couple of hills are re-born and have been used in the past both on the Clouds and in their own right. About 25 years ago the venue was used as a single venue trial. Such is the variety we're blessed with here in the Cotswolds. The team at SDMC to a fantastic job of organising and promoting their trials. The Mechanics Trial in November is very similar in character and deserves similar praise. Neil
Yes, Chris and I will agree, a great day out. Thank you Stroud & District for a wonderful trial. I see we were docked for the restart on Merve's Swerve, but despite massive wheel spin and blue smoke we know we got away and drove out of the section. Better luck next time I hope. Stuart Harrold
