jrsunt Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Many riders may have come across Peter in the past 15 years or so in and around the northern area. He was a great lover of the Scottish, The Scott and The Cleveland amongst many other great trials. He was often seen on the road crossings around the course offering drinks, food and plenty of advice. His larger than life character always had time for anyone and everyone, His booming voice and positive outlook will sadly be missed. He helped many riders out in recent years, giving back to the sport which gave him so much pleasure. If Andy or anyone has any pics of him to add, that would be great, as many people would have seen him not knowing who he was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted September 16, 2016 Report Share Posted September 16, 2016 Met him lots of times at various trials, always had time for a laugh about something. I'll miss seeing him. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillary Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Sorry to learn of his passing (I presume as that has not been said directly); as Sunt has said, he was a great character, very disabled, but that didn't stop him getting around as best he could in his car. I always stopped for a chat, particularly in the Cleveland where he was always at the same parking area next to a bridge. Condolences to those close to Peter.

laird387 Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 Another sad loss to the sport - Peter was one of those characters in the background who most people 'knew' but didn't quite know why - but the ones who really knew are aware that our sport could not exist without such enthusiasts. Peter was a bachelor and an only child, probably in his mid-sixties. Well known and usually helping in one way or another at the Scott trial - or indeed any trial in that area. He lived at Wynyard, near Stockton. Not many are aware of his enduring sponsorship of awards centred on the Ladies championship events, awards that were valued for their careful choice of valuable items that would be useful for a lady competitor. No details yet of his funeral arrangements - but respect and condolences are due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
