July 5, 200719 yr 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.
July 5, 200719 yr 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
July 6, 200719 yr 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.
July 6, 200719 yr 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!
July 6, 200719 yr Author 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.
July 7, 200719 yr 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!
July 12, 200719 yr Good point bo drinker! Was a good trial bytheway!..so I could fully recommend it to anyone next time. Cheers to all the organisers.
July 12, 200719 yr Author 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)
July 13, 200719 yr Good point bo drinker!Was a good trial bytheway!..so I could fully recommend it to anyone next time. Cheers to all the organisers. How was the going? Had the rain made it tough?
July 13, 200719 yr It was LAST Sunday Ian!!!! So dont go there this week. If you dont have anywhere planned for this week I HIGHLY reccomend the Wye Valley trial...coz the venue is amazing. The last thing I heard it still wasnt in TMX....DOH!..but its definately on the ACUWESTERNCENTRE website. Hope to see you there Ian. And bo drinker of course....go on..you know you want to. Kept forgetting to say sorry I didnt hang around after that Dudley trial Bo...I thought id get off home and change a few more nappies......the fun never ends you see!!!!!!!!!
July 13, 200719 yr Author No cant do that one Stu the bike is stripped for r wheel bearings, b pads chain needed etc etc. Be out within next week or 2 though. No problem you get those nappies sorted out .
July 14, 200719 yr 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.
July 15, 200719 yr Ooohhh..bo drinker, you spoiling your bike.!...good on ya. Theres a trial at Builth?? next week..(Gwent Schoolboy club)...reckon that'll be a good un, and not TOO far away, so hope to see you there. STU
