My Northern Trial

We had a grand day, helped by the fact we were in a closed car with a heater that just about dribbled in a bit of warm air. It started windy, poured with rain. Then the sun came out but that was just a teaser before the snow came. When the snow eased off along came the hail followed by a cold wind. But you don't go to Cumbria in February to top up your tan!

We had a great run, cleaned some sections, failed some we shouldn't have and wallowed in the mud for a few high scores on a couple more. Not Sandale though. Got the bug wound up and we hit the muddy bit flat out in first without any wheelspin. The ruts kept us on the track through the restart area and we maintained enough speed to require some heavy braking when we got to the road. Epic :-)

Nigel Jones had his sump guard fall off on the first section and being a gentleman I stopped to help. After that we were running pretty much towards the back of the field and experienced quite a few delays as the marshals extricated competitors from some of the muddy sections.

We felt sorry for John, June and Alex who were marshalling the last section and hadn't seen a car for ages when we arrived. Poor Johns face really dropped when I told him there were at least half a dozen behind us!

Got to the food at the finish about 5.45. One or two bogs, sorry sections, apart we really enjoyed it though. Its my 4th Northern and I plan to be back next year.

How was your Northern Trial?

Cotswold Clouds

I've eventually got round to loading my Cotswold Clouds Photos.  I went to Crooked Mustard and Bulls Bank.  Crooked Mustard was difficult, as it was difficult to find a place where a most of the cars got too, there were lots of trees around and foliage to get in the way, finally lots of Spectators, so I had to shoot around them.  Bulls Bank was almost the exact opposite, easy track, wide open spaces few spectators, not spectacular photos but very good shots of cars against the snow, which was much thicker around Bulls bank than Crooked Mustard.

Anyway here they are:-

Northern Classic Trial

Well, I never thought that I would be posting a message like this to followers of this site a month or so ago. If you are intending to enter the Northern Classic Trial please get your entry off to us as soon as possible as we may well end up with a full entry!!! Many thanks to all who have entered already. The organising team are calling in all their favours from the weather gods for it to rain at the beginning of the week with clear weather on the set up day of the 17th and bright sunshine on the 18th. God, it is rumoured, loves a trier.

Looking forward to seeing competitors and marshals on the 18th for a cracking days trialling.

My Clee Hills Trial

What a fantastic event. I really enjoyed it. OK there are probably quite a few clean sheets and results will have to be decided on special tests but to me that didn't matter. The sections were much drier than usual and Easthope and The Jenny Wind were cleanable by mere mortals but that added to the day.

The event departed from the two loop system of recent years. However, every car didn't do every section on the single loop. It looked horrendous on the plan sent out with the final instructions but as a competitor it worked well. We were running right at the back of the field and can't recall any serious delays

Highlight for me was that wonderful, long, Hungerford Steps. There was plenty of grip so I should have run harder tyres to give some more ground clearance but what a blast. How was your Clee Hills Trial?
