andy m Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Any one on here been to the Dudley clubs venue at Clows top Mamble on the A456 Kidderminster road? Just wondering what sort of trial to expect, terrain etc. Trial there this Sunday. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I did a Trial there last month, good place, biggish grass banks, streams,some rocks in them and hard bottom and usually slippy exits and descents. Going by the weather this week it will be slippy and muddy there but i am sure it will be set accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowbrow Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Peter, Linda and Scott Cartwright who are the Dudley Club always put on a good trial with a choice of routes to suit every ability, and like Just says, its a good venue. Definitely worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 See you there bo! I was gonna go to the Mrythr (sp??) trial, but clows top is quite a bit closer, and I'm not really into driving too far. Did a dudley trial at kinlet recently and they are a very good club, putting on a good trial, so it should be a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Come on Stu "not into driving too far" how far had you driven and what time in the morning and how much sleep etc before you observed at WVAC. See you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Yes, I echo the above comments. The Cartwrights can be relied upon to stage a good club trial with three routes. Mamble farm is also an excellent venue, however it does get rather more challenging when it's wet. That said, I have a feeling theres a section with a rock in it, so for this part of the world, that makes it varied terrain indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Good point bo drinker! Was a good trial bytheway!..so I could fully recommend it to anyone next time. Cheers to all the organisers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yes Stu, I only need to sort out the not putting the foot on the ground in the section and then I will be doing well. Went over the bars big time but finished. All good fun (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomant Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 It was LAST Sunday Ian!!!!So dont go there this week. I did read this thread a bit fast and didnt take it in I was looking at the tmx site for it and wondered where it was. But as they are slipping a bit lately in getting the comps up in time I wondered whether they had missed it! Doh I looked at the acu western site http://www.acuwesterncentre.org.uk/2007events.html and I see its a centre championship trial. That is a nice venue but the weather is looking a bit dire for tomorrow so may give it a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
