Darkie is one of the original groups of the wye valley traders which was first used when the trial first run in 1928. Booby dingle was used in the 1960s but across the road. The sections that were used in the picture above have never been used in a trial untill 28 09 08.

Reckon you said it all there woody Thanks

I know this is a very sticky area of bike eligability, and i am not poking the stick in the hornet nest so to speak. How do yokes fair in the eligability stakes? Are AW Engineering yokes ok to use? It seems most use these. Or is it possible to use a betor set (cheaper) and yes i know they aint british but using betor stantions inside a set of road holders are acceptable so why not the yokes? I dont want to start the done to death eligability thing just need a clear answer on the yokes as i have an Ariel project up and coming and i want to ride the scottish 2 day one day before me knee says i aint playing no more! Now i am going to batten down the hatch! Regards Pitley

Yes trial still on, ring dan for an entry 01981 259890 or 01981 250458.

Gentlemen. Thanks for your kind words of praise and importantly your constructive words of advice. All comments have been taken on board, and yes i fully agree that if we get a Traditional round in 2009 then the championship route will get tweaked to suite more competant riders. If we dont get a round then it will still be tweaked a bit like using the step in lodge wood also the waterfall in slough dingle. The whole area is a trials riders dream imho and theres alot of virgin sections out there to be ridden, i have already started talking to landowners about next years event, and to date a group is on the cards on the side of the mountain in the village of the start. Also a possible group in the northern part of the trial. I appreciate riders of modern bikes need a bit more to go at but i dont want to make it too hard for the riders of older machines, as i lean towards the older bikes( just my opinion not the clubs). I would like to take the oppertunity to thank all you chaps for travelling such great distances to support our event, also i would like to thank all the landowners, helpers, observers, who made this event possible, also thanks to Dan Sanders for doing the secretary job and sorting out the results, and Malcom Herbert the 2nd for running about in the last week before the trial,making hill lane passable and helping out with marking out the subs and route marking. See you all next year Regards Andy

Any of you chaps riding this event on here, we would like your feedback on how you felt the trial was in your eyes. Good or bad we need to know as this is our first road event in 14 years. Post it here or pm me. Thanks Andy Pitt Clerk of the course.

We got 70 at todays count, we have Neil & Peter Gaunt, Woody, Jordi, Nicky Draper, John Cowley, Simon Levitt and alot of other Traditional Champs riders. By last sunday evening i was hanging out me a$$e, after 2 days of marking and making good all the holes in the brooks the previous couple of weeks rain had made Dont you think mike looks healthier running on chip oil but dont he wiff

54 entrys by yesterday chap. Obs we got 15, need 5 more to cover the first half of the trial. No autosol merchants as yet... Mike is doing the catering form the 5th group out his VW

Mikey, nice one. You got the 5th group with a single sub to look after,got to be me fave sub as it goes. Parking for the urn provided but you will need 30meters of hose to get the tea to you by drip..

How many obsrevers have you got? Are you running 40 subs? I got about 20 observers at the moment, and we are running 35 subs. Hopefully that should cover the trial. I wanted to ride the rosebowl but its a bit close to our trial on the 28th, and theres still a bit of work to do out there.

Good luck with your observers.

If your going back to 250 frenchie, keep me in mind for the 320 parts. Cheers

Nice do Malc. Anyone seen any results yet?

Spud Regs for our road based classic on www.acuwesterncentre.org/uk. If you like rocky sections, give it a try.

Hope you enjoy it Jordi

DM my good man. Entry for the Hinsley this evening stands at 6..... THTT entry stands at 28 with 8 weeks to go. Strikes me as a road based event is the popular choice instead of the multilap rabbit patch trial.............

Anyone here intrested in riding this trial then?

Guinness and pasta in that order! Plenty of iron and plenty of carbs Get it down ya neck!!

I followed thorpy on my 2nd lap,he was still on his first. Watched him on that river crossing sub, absolute class riding. The man is a step above the rest in my book.

Your on the list chap, you and nick on 3rd group where you put yer self to use last year

Thanks, thats better than i expected. Thanks to your club for a good trial.

Yes chap, sent two sae with my entry.

Hey Charlie. Just seen your post. The bike had a 410 motor when i had it, had the barrel made by Mick Dicko up Rotherham way. Dont tell anyone but i run an Honda XL 250 piston in it,plenty of power to pull me (16 stone) around. Wish i never sold it Enjoy it Charlie
