Alex Salmond - First Minister of Scotland was a welcomed visitor to the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) earlier today, as he toured the Parc Ferme as part of his current election campaign. The charasmatic politician was in good spirits as he enjoyed the glorious sunshine that has beseiged Fort William over more recent days. The SNP leader took time out from his busy schedule to meet the last few competitors of the field of two hundred and seventy six riders as they were about to set out on their first day of six in the Scottish Highlands.

Welcome to Day Four of the 2013 Scottish Six Days Trial...how on earth is it Thursday already?! Today is brought to you courtesy of Hookwood Trials Centre, home to motorcycle and pushbike trials in the south of England.

#211 is in 8th place. Nice to see. Jonathan Richardson is holding up well for, what I'm guessing is, top newcomer? And... on a 125? Alexz came on well today. Sam Haslem is holding very, very strong all week. The kids are doing alright. Oh, by the way... Where's Ross Danby?

Number Eighty, caught dabbing. Only #264 has dabbed less in the last five days. So this is one of those rare shots. That's unless someone claims he didn't dab in the photo? Runner-up cool picture goes to the photo taken moments before this alleged dab.

Hello Can anyone tell me where to get the thin yellow plastic that some company's use to make their number plates? I bought the complete kit from splatshop but the plate cracked the other week and I want to make a new one plus a few spares

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…

Paw Moffat is away to the But n Ben early to practice his patter for ssdt week. Every morning this week he'll be in the West End car park with Wee Jean's hairbrush & wearing Wee Stevie's ear muffs holding interviews with many unsuspecting tourists. With any luck the local constabulary will only caution him for this behaviour & he'll still be available for PF duties next week.

Well it seems for sure the young men are taking their toll upon the olde guarde! Dibs! Brownie! Alexz! Sam! Lee! Ahead of World Champ Tommi A.! And lets not forget Ross! Just goes to show you, youth has its merits! Where did Ishy go? Ah, to the pub! I feel REALLY OLD now!

Dougie Lampkin - Gas Gas signalled his intent to take a record breaking sixth win as he took over the lead of the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) as the centenary event reached the halfway stage. Thirty-five year old Dougie from Silsden, West Yorkshire dropped one mark in today's thirty sections to move to the head of the standings, as Tuesday's leader Michael Brown - Gas Gas endured his worst day thus far and fell back to fifth place overall. A soft five at the last section at Annatt cost Brown dearly as he dropped six marks on day three. Things could not be tighter at the top, with Lampkin only having a slim advantage over James Dabill - Beta who rode himself back…

Sorry folks - the office has been a whirlwind of problems to sort and visitors through the door, this is the first time I've sat down at the computer today! Thursday's route is traditionally a long haul - down to Glencoe, over Rannoch Moor, up north through Corrour before finishing with Fersit and coming back home through Spean Bridge.

Under the first rain of the week, the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) welcomed its third different leader in three days as James Dabill - Beta moved to the top of the cumulative standings after only dropping a single mark earlier today. The recently turned twenty-five year old from Leeds, West Yorkshire who won the SSDT back in 2007, lost his mark at the top section at Gorton and now holds a one mark lead over Graham Jarvis - Montesa at this critical point in the trial. Jarvis continues to enjoy a successful return to this event, and remains very much in contention to take his fifth win, after he also parted with just one dab, his being at Lochs Wood. Last night's l…
