Do they have different lines for the different grades over in the UK now? As I seem to remember (possibly unreliably) that there was one line for all, in the early eighties, when I used to live in the UK. This was in the Cheshire and North Wales Centre and may differ for other areas.

Multi route laps now in Cheshire ands NW , 2 or 3 routes in most trials a few classics like the Foster cup have still only got one route but not many like that left.

Were did you ride in the centre and when.

Between 1980 and 1983, Colwyn, Wrexham, Denbigh & Mold, CYTC and some Manchester 17, Wirral 100 and Oswestry events. Most of the time I was riding A class schoolboys. Highlight was a Manchester 17 British Youth Round in 1981 were Steve Saunders blew everyone away.

Must have been riding in those days but normal Congleton, Crewe, Man17 and the club I am involved with now Macclesfield which in those days would be called Hyde DMC.

Man 17 are having a reunion some time this year of all old members, but perhaps a little to far to travel.

What bike was Steve on?

I am pretty sure he was on the Blue Bultaco 250.

I got the name of the club wrong it was Congleton and District that ran the trial. I still have the program and the results (sad eh), Steve finished on 11, R.Kerridge was 2nd on 46 and D.Leather was 3rd on 49. My Mum & Dad said I should have watched, as Steve was unbelievable. It's amazing that he didn't pick up a world title somewhere along the way.
