Ross is making a serious move today. John Shirt is in his target.

I and my brother walked the 6 miles up to loch eilde cottage for the two subs on wednesday. ( cottage is a bit grand its a semi derelict , mostly derelict building at the far end of the loch probably used by those that dammed the loch in 1916-18) the weather was fine until the first riders arrived. refueling first at the fuel tent manned by two wet desert rats.. At that time the winds were approx. 30mph and the rain was HEAVY. the three observers were huddled in a portable fishing bothy and had two of the easiest sections of the trial to observe. they ran consequteively and were about 40 yards in length total with a rise of 8 -10 feet in total. from my experince the…

Remember to fit your bike with a rear facing number plate or you will NOT get through scruitineering. - this includes non UK registered bikes The importers have a very nifty FREE plate bracket for every entrant so there is no excuse, - just see them on Sunday morning.
