firedfromthecircus Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) To the OP. There are quite a few sections each day that are reachable by car and then foot. Check the SSDT website and the program when you get up there. Of course, there is always Nevis FM when you are there.

You're more than welcome to come along and watch the SSDT - it's a great trial, a great week, and the more the merrier, but please leave your bike behind. There is absolutely no off-road riding permitted by anyone other than riders and officials at the SSDT. It probably sounds harsh, but by way of explanation the trial is run over private ground. As you can imagine, the amount of ground we cover involves the goodwill of a huge number of landowners who permit us to run 300-ish motorbikes over their ground for the week.

highland lassie Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 What about observing? Chance to ride to the sections then? Yup, observers signed on (and therefore insured) by the club are officials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishsteve Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yup, observers signed on (and therefore insured) by the club are officials. you get some good rides to get to the sections all off road if needed cheeper hotel and lots of fun.

fhtrucker Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I ride these hill every day and as far as i am concerned the land is for everyone....remember people got thrown of land and out of their houses, lost their living, and everything burnt to the ground to give it to "landowners"...think on!!!! I had a official from the ssdt a couple of years ago telling me to get of the hill as i was not allowed to be on the ground??? I dont think so!!!! What a cheek...not local by the way, and i dont know who gave him the stripes. The world is for everyone, not just a few very selfish bullys. Make your own mind up....Doormat or equal member of the human race. I have made my mind up and will enjoy my week. Stand up for yourself or you will be trodden into the ground. Who is it that said "landownership is theft"???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
