Torbay Classic Trial Sunday March 21st

Been to  look at  some of the sections this afternoon. Unless we have a drought over the next 3 weeks it going to be a heck of a lot more slippery than back in Sept  .
We  have some wicked  deviations  for  class  8   and only one re-start line on Tipley  so if your in class 3  burn baby burn  !!!!!
You all missed having a go at Simms  back in Jan,   so  come on down to  Devon  on Sunday  March  21st  and  have some fun.  Start venue very easy to get to  right beside M5.
I  never thought i say this but thank goodness for the four wheel drive brigade!  they really use Simms a lot these days  and a combination of four wheels digging  and  continuous frosts this winter,  some of the dreaded concrete is beginning to lift........

Trial at Mile Tree farm near Leighton Buzzard on 28 March

Falcons finest, the dynamic Duo of Michael Leete and Dave Maitland, are organising this Clubsport event. It's at Mile Tree Farm this year Click Here for a report and pictures of the last Mile Tree Farm Trial.

No championships, no competition licence, this one is for fun. I had a look at the venue during the week and it looks good. The issues getting in and out of the gate have been resolved. The ruts have been filled in with hardcore.

How was your Northern Trial

We had a grand time. Went up mid week to take in the sights and really enjoyed the event itself. I know the organisers were disapointed to loose quite a few sections through a combination of forestry operations and the weather. Personally I didn't think this detracted to much from the event apart from there being quite a few sections where you had to reverse back down if you failed. We were an early number and didn't experience any delay but reversing time could have affected those towards the back.

I enjoyed the sections, especially coming out the top of Sandale under my own power!  Unlike my last Northern I didn't commit any howlers this year so no 11's or 12's, nor did I hit any trees this time. Big shout out to Thomas Aldrian who was marshalling on Ladyside and helped keep that slate clean when I nealy backed into one and had to be pushed off. Sorry about the mud on your new jacket Thomas! Perhaps I picked up 10 or so marks during the day. We will see when the results come out.

I understand Big Cockup was canceled  and a little bird tells me that if it wasn't for this Dean Partington would have picked up an 11 after an aerial maneuver!

Super trialling weather, muddy underneath on a cold clear day allowing us from down south to experience those wonderful views.

How was your Northern Trial?
