39 entries. Four withdrew before the closing date due to various post Lands End, Kyrle maladies. So 35 entrants representing a good range of novice, expert, saloon and sports cars enjoyed a day out in the woods. The weather was kind to us and only rained at the end on those who were loading up their trials cars on to trailers for the journey home. Tim Whellock showed he still has a competitive streak left and took the overall win. Dudley Sterry won Class 8. He lost one of the blower belts on flint ridden Marilyn. Time for some new belts!
Roger Ugalde also still has a competitive streak and won Class 7 in the Allard J1. Mark Wills from Leicester in a Marlin came fourth overall and highest scoring novice. Mark’s experience of driving classic trials amounts to 3 MCC trials when he has managed to get a finisher’s certificate on all three. Class 1 was won by local man Nick Cleal in a Peugeot 205. Another local – Nick Farmer took Class 3 in his BMW318is hotly pursued by Terry Flay in Emma’s Escort and Simon Groves.
Tony Lee won Class 4 in a VW Beetle. Tony’s first trial. And Brian Alexander abandoned his Fiat to take Class 5 in a Suzuki X90.
Windwhistle Motor Club would like to thank all entrants for their support. And all marshals for their diligence. 26 sections for £25.00 must be the bargain of the year.
If anyone has any photos perhaps they could send some in to Pat Toulmin for Restart magazine.
