Rocks And Water... And Then More Rocks And Water

I've been really enjoying watching the daily video reports from the SSDT.

I've noticed a common theme covering all of the sections shown: Gnarly rocks and plenty of water.

As a matter of interest, are there any sections that aren't set in treacherous stream beds?

I was thinking the same thing and at the same time was impressed with the level of riding.

Things can go wrong so fast in a water filled slippery stream bed

I have done 12 or 13 ssd trials (lost count?) yes most of the sections are rocky stream beds but if the weather has been dry ish there wont be much water.

There are sections bases on rock slabs again stream based and as the photo above some are gravelly worn paths up steep hillsides.

I havent done the scottish for 12 or 13 years but the last two rides i carried an old 35mm compact camera with me to record the views we encounted on the route because to get to the top of some of the hills would take you forever on foot, it was a privilege to compete and i have a lot of good memories.

If you are considering having a go do so! Stephen.
