    Para 1.1 "As with before, you cannot:

    - gather in a group of more than two (excluding members of your own household), except for a few specific exceptions set out in law (for work, funerals, house moves, supporting the vulnerable, in emergencies and to fulfil legal obligations)"

    There does seem to be a lot of confusion about the rules but they are pretty clear.  IMHO the owner of a practice ground is still required to keep it closed.  Lot of traffic on the internet now about all the things we can do, but a lot of people seem to think the "lockdown" is over.  It is not.  I think most of us (if we are honest) are bending the rules just a tiny bit past what they should be.  I'm pretty keen to get back to our local practice area but I would rather wait than have the landowner shut it altogether for fear of being fined.  For myself - as in just me personally  - I would take the risk, I'm sure it would not be hard to keep apart from other people if there are not too many of us.

     

    Trouble is i can do a track day in my car but cant go praticing i love trials but need a fix i know a few pratice tracks that are waiting for the ACU that i think is wrong low numbers pre booked and lets get out before we loose a lot of riders

     

  5. hi i have just returned to trials scorpa 280 im 57 been off the trials since the early 90s and did my first trial today and loved it getting better every section but there is one thing that i cant get right i can turn tight on off camber ok but turn tight on the flat and the front wants to push away from me tried leaning the bike over a bit more helped but was still bad running 5psi in the tyre was tacky conditions

     

     

  6. hi im just returning to trials at 57 and to be honet i just dont have any spare time i would love to help out but it would mean i would have to miss riding that month

    i must admite there are to many routes  its to confusing what with 50/50 etc stick to 3

  7. Had a great day the scorpa was great realy loved it junped on an 07 gasgas and didnt realy feel it was a better bike the scorpa does need a 9 front sprocket its got a quick action twist grip and i liked it but a shorter gear lever is a must the only part i hated was changing gear realy had trouble finding the lever but a new one on order and back out in a few weeks

    many thanks for all the advice
