Welcome to TC and to Trials in general.

Hi Jcr

Like yourself i'm new to the trial's world,i've been riding since last october,couple of venues local which are suitable,nettleton quarry at the top of the birdlip just before you join the 417 dual carriageway to swindon on the left before you get to the roundabout,open most weekends at 10.00 onwards,kilkenny viewpoint on the oxford road,again top of the birdlip but straight on for severn springs then on towards the kilkenny,car park on right hand side,one other place that i've been told about but not yet used is aggs hill above cheltenham racecourse,sounds good.

A few good web sites to look on for local info are acu western and team r2w trials,some good shots of aggs hill,kilkenny and nettleton on r2w

Good training day coming up on the 17/05 at longhope,info on acu western under calender,may be worth a call first as they may be fully booked,if you do go may see you there as i've sent an entry off

I try and get out at least twice a month either practice or an event,may catch up with you somewhere as i only live in ledbury

Welcome to TC. Book yourself on to a Steve Saunders trials school in Gloucestershire. There are a few clubs in Gloucester and 2 in Hereford. We regularly see some folks from Worcester and surrounding towns here in Hereford. Not too sure about the club situation around Worcester area though.. Malvern do a couple a year ??
