This fantastic oak tree and pine forest venue will have been ridden many times by many people over the last 20 years, but it now comes into use by the trials fraternity for the first time.
And the venue is Glyn Hafren, the land where 11 times British Enduro Champion Geraint Jones holds his Yamaha Off-Road Experience days. Geraint, a stalwart of the Hafren Dirt Bike Club that has held World and British Championship enduros at the farm near Llanidloes, and his fellow Hafren DBC enthusiasts Adrian and Hugo Jervis have plotted and planned a great new course for the next round of the Mid Wales Centre Championships on Sunday, November 22.
They've been out with the Jones boys, Geraint, Rowan and Dylan, cutting out streams, gullies and hillsides, ready for an influx of trials riders to tackle the next Centre Championship event.
The format will be four laps of 10 sections, with three routes that cater for Expert, Clubman, Intermediate (who ride a 50/50 mix of the Expert and Clubman sections) and Sportsman. Those who have been to Glyn Hafren will have looked at the many streams and hillsides and thought why are no trials held here. Well now one comes alive, so this is a great chance to be one of the first trials men to tackle the wide variety of sections the land has to offer. Llanidloes is easily accessed from not only the Mid Wales Centre, but also the Cheshire Centre,. Midland Centre and Western Centre, so why not make a enjoyable trip into the heart of mid-Wales and give this trial a try.
Entries will be taken at the start which is at 10.30 am on Sunday, November 22.
Glyn Hafren is SY18 6PS. If you don't have a satnav, go to the centre of Llanidloes and take the road immediately behind the medieval building to Old Hall. Follow that road for about 4 miles and the start will be on the right up a gravel fire road just before the entrance to Glyn Hafren farm.
