Lots of clubs within 30mins of Sheffield such as Sheffield and Hallamshire, BSSA, Mansfield Maun, Barnsley etc. Get yourself to a trial and dont be afraid to ask for advice.
I think that having long sections is ok as long as you dont have to hop around which happened a lot in A class. The B class sections were fine due to the fact that most were straight and enabled you to keep on the move.
Correct so for example if you get passed the 2 board before stopping before the 1 board then your score would be a 2 even if you paddled up like a centipede.
Try the Jitsie stuff, not as bulky as MX gear but not overly tight like other trials stuff. Plus Albert Cabestany, James Dabill and Alexz Wigg wouldnt wear it if the quality was poor. Hope this helps.
Dont worry, everyone does it. Just walk the section, then walk it again and then again just to make sure you know precisely where your going and what line to take.
Good, untill you hit a rock. Because they have no cross bracing, the pegs bend very easily. You would be better off with something with some cross bracing for strength.
