- Part 3

This place was 7 miles from house and where I saw Steve Saunders for the first time. I was there so looking to see if I am in there somewhere :thumbup:

I remember Steve going up that hill climb like a rocket when everyone else couldn't get up there :lol: watching him again, its clear to see how much better he was than his peers at getting grip up that stuff. Amazing :o

Also, those wheels on Eddie Lejeune's Merlin - Scary or what ?

Indoor sections are almost esssential to the events now, its twenty years on now....

Intersting comment, indoor trials=indoor sections, outdoor trials=outdoor sections

So why is it essential to have indoor type man made sections in outdoor trials?

You make a good point but maybe its the lack of suitable terrain at some of the WTC venues and also, its easier to get spectators around indoor type sections to view.

Back on thread, I wonder if they could ever use that venue again? Probably a bit too far south but anyway, I think this is it if I can remember correctly :thumbup:Google maps

It's the gradual merge of the two titles......one title one flipping circus act, suites our Iberian friends more I guess. Outdoor should be all outdoor terrain, no man made town centre type sections...outdoor has to be credible
