Well done Somerton Classic, another great classic trial on Saturday and Sunday. The Mendip hills in the sunshine and a friendly crew at the helm. 

Sections to allow real bikes to show what they do best, don't see many pre-unit and rigid bikes these days so a joy to see - Ariels, Nortons, AJS's, Matchless as well as Greeves, Cub's, Bantam's, Sprite and C15's and c40's. 

 

With over 70 entries, let's hope more clubs keep true classic trials going for classic bikes.

Sadly my input from Somerton was lost when Gordon Francis died, together we reported regularly on their events - which were always top notch - a real credit to the sport.  

 

But surely all is not lost?  If anyone has digital photographs, preferably three-quarters or side on views (simply 'cos when you've seen one head on shot of a front tyre, teles and handlebar you've seen the lot!) then please drop me an email to 'offroarchive@gmail.com' and we will get a full feature of the Somerton Classic trials in to ORRe - the digital magazine that supports classic events.

 

Don't worry about any technicalites, just let me see your basic images and I'll do all the clever photoshop stuff - or even advise you on how to get the best results from your camera - if that would help.

 

Here's hoping - there are lots of readers out there would like to see the photoreports...........

 

Cheers
