ISSSSSSHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Teach t'lad, please.

99% of the problems with the busy sections are down to people parking inconsiderately. One car parked either side of a single-track road with just enough space to get a family car through between them. Along comes Mr. Transit support vehicle and he's too wide to get through, but there are 40 or 50 others behind him. He can't go forward, he can't go back so everything grinds to a halt. Surrender isn't named for the riders - it's named for the spectators because you just give up trying to move your car and it's all down to folk not thinking before they park up. I sat for over an hour last year just trying to get past that one section - and it wasn't even on my list of sections to go to, I was just passing through! <rant over>

Ignoring the gibberish bit in the middle - so do I. It bears a slight resemblance to another well-known Trials site

Afraid not. Great section, but with it being in a gully under tree cover, it was too dark to get anything of good enough quality to publish - even with flash.

Yup, and get the cafe across the road to open up. The Ice Factor couldn't handle the food demand and the place across the road missed a serious opportunity to make a lot of money by staying closed. Not a criticism on either of them as I don't think they realised just how many people would turn up hungry, but a suggestion for next year.

It's simple - just look for someone hopping after a sheep instead of running

One boot???????? and they say the Irish are daft

We're talking about Gav who turned up today with a hat pulled right down to just above the eyes because he had a babycham, passed out and his mates shaved off his eyebrows

Congrats also to Arthur MacDonald and his Lochaber team for laying on a great Trial. Feedback I got was that it was pretty much spot on - the SSDT veterans were loving every second. And it didn't rain either! Oh - and Russell - does my dust taste good?

Consider it payment for your free lift to the SSDT this year

Hi Myk, I've moved your post to the Honda forum as you're more likely to get responses there. The "Anything Goes" is really to keep non-Trials related chat out of the bike forums. Welcome aboard! Andy

Well if you're going to be there Gav I can't really miss it, can I?

For those who don't look at the front page too often, I've just put a photo feature article up.

Techno You know how I get about using text talk! Anyway, my folks who were supposed to be visiting this weekend have put it off so I MAY appear on Sunday. However, I've had a helluva week and am knackered so we'll see how it goes.

I'll confirm what OTH says about Image Scotland doing quality gear, however I do feel the guy who does the TC shirts and the team WOFTAM gear deserves a plug too. Good, fast service, good pricing and he's a Trials Rider to boot! Give David a shout at The Sewing Centre

I just think it's cool that T&MX are using Trials Central as a news source. Nobody else has mentioned the Raga story

Where was the request? Forum search returns nothing except this thread.

Does the phrase "Death by Powerpoint" mean anything to you? 8am-6pm, presentation after presentation.... I'd rather be at Alvie, trust me!

Love to, but I'm off to Milan on Sunday. Boring conference.

Nick - it's okay to put this front page if you want. I don't want every club trial on there as that's what the calendar is for, but I'm cool with promoting charity events.

And bring yer thermals. It tends to be a bit on the chilly side...

Kinell. Poor old sod. The ony rider I know who carries a defibrillator in his back pack

He'll be the one lying dead at the side of the track, fag in gob
