Awesome event!
(for those who missed it, you missed one of the best events I've been to in a long while)

The sections were all challenging.... I think all were cleared by someone, yet nobody ended up with zero, and there was no more than two people sharing pointage. You had to think about the route you wanted, and you had to drive canny (which sometimes meant more than trickle along in low second.)
All the gates were wide, and cane-dodging was only an issue when taking the wrong line going up/down slopes ;-)

I was part of the leading pack for half the day, until grippy tyres argued with a drive-flange, and the motor ended up in 2 wheel drive (and many thanks to Rab for the use of his motor for the last three sections... yet Alex still beat me in the 2WD BogHopper.)

I really must build myself a trials car again!
Sooooo much fun!

Yes I agree, a fantastic event. Thankyou to the set up crew and the landowner. I was very impressed with the skill of the drivers and the lines that were needed to make some of the gates! Can't wait to see the photos and videos.

Cheers
Luke

Big thanks to Lindsay Macbeth for the use of his very capable motor, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks also to all involved in organising the day.
