joeninety Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi, Myself and a couple of riding mates are looking to do a trial or two away from our local area for a change of scenery. We are based in Hampshire so experience plenty of mud, tree roots, logs etc but fancy riding something a little different. We don't mind travelling and staying overnight for the "right" venue. Our riding level is clubman C route so we are not looking for anything too severe but quite fancy some stream / river riding or mild rocks, the kinda things we don't get down south... Open to all suggestions with the criteria that the venue must be in England or Wales. Please list venue and club that runs the trial and any pictures would be a bonus! Cheers, Gary.

windlestone1 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) If you don't mind travelling and staying overnight you should consider Scotland.as well Some brilliant two day events, and you know you've been in a trial when you've ridden a couple of 20 mile laps, offroad, each day. Hospitality is excellent too, you'd be made very welcome Edited April 2, 2013 by windlestone1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 You havent got far to go really, pop down to the Wessex centre or up into South Wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooseneck Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Darlington motor club.. Clubman class is steady away, nothing too challenging. You won't go far wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wri5hty Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Richmond run the blue bar trial 2 days in may, not sure if you are eligible. Check their website. Bedlington motor club have the Alwinton 2 day in june. They have a facebook page with pics of the terrain. You could also ask baldilocks on here about it. Middlesbrough motor club have a 2 day in September, covers just about every terrain. All three should be good for you and your mate's.

old trials fanatic Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Peak Classic Trials Club hold 12 events a year , one per month weather permitting, all within 15 miles radius of Matlock. Loads of local pubs with accommodation and the sort of terrain you said you were looking for streams, rocky outcrops, woods and moorland. Clubman route is dead easy and sounds right up your street.
