Steve Walker Trial


After a dry but breezy day on the Saturday setting out. we were met with a another dry and breezy day on Sunday.
Will Tolson triumphed on the Championship course with the loss of just three marks from Elliot Laws who kept his feet firmly on the pegs but a coming together with a flag saw him add a 5 to his score.
Paul Kettlewell was the man to beat on the 50/50 whilst Howard Gulley was the top of the tree on the Clubman course.
well done to everyone and thank for your support. Big thanks to the observers who withstood the biting wind. It did help that the riders weren't hanging around and we were all wrapped up for two!

Novice & Beginners 5th Roundnews

A reasonable day for this the 5th round of this years series. Some sunny spells for the helpers to mark out the course. Nigel, Howard, Simon and Jeff were joined by club treasurer, Ben Ludgate who had dragged himself out of bed, the popular explanation being he needed to test out the new bike! However all these members did observe as well, so we had a full complement. Thanks to all those members and thanks to the riders who supported the event. Apologies for the delay with the results, a bit of a computer hiccup!

Stan Pitts trial report news

After spending all day Saturday, digging, shifting, plotting, riding and planting flags. 14 sections were waiting for the Stan Pitts trial.
We were rewarded with nearly 40 entries Some say this is a shame for the kind of trial this is. However, just to keep this fantastic piece of land in use keeps us going. Hardly June weather was on the agenda with brief rain showers and small chinks of sunshine. I say brief, hardly any! We were over run with observers and were very thankful that every section was marshalled.
It seemed the sections got a little harder as the day wore on, so, those that got off early probably had the best of the going.
One thing that Halton Gill offers is a good ride around. So, a simple section becomes an arduous task when arm pump has set in on the third lap. Danny Gamble was the top dog with Dave Petty topping the clubman A and riding an immaculate 90's Gas Gas Anthony Ayrton was triumphant on clubman B with Paul Gravlstock keeping him on his toes with another retro ride on the twinshock Fantic. We hope you all enjoyed yourself and tell your friends for next year....
