Sheffield & Hallamshire MCC Brough Rough'N Andy Atkinson Memorial Trial

On Sunday 25th August, Sheffield & Hallamshire MCC will run our annual Brough Rough'N Andy Atkinson Memorial charity trial at the fantastic Elmore Hill Farm, Brough, Derbyshire.

The event first ran in 2013 and has continued to grow ever since as it is quite unique compared to most trials as everybody rides the same route. The sections vary in difficulty so there is something for everybody with a rough split of 5 easy sections, 5 clubman sections and 5 expert sections with the hardest sections being graded. This year is a slightly different format which is largely to try and get everybody finishing at a more similar time and shorten the day for the observers so everybody can enjoy the raffle and share stories of the day. There is 3 laps of 15 sections for everybody over a 6 mile moorland lap with sections varying from rocky streams to huge graded hills and maybe the odd bog thrown in for good measure. All proceeds are going to Bluebell Wood Childrens Hospice as in previous years.
We have the usual charity raffle immediately after the event with some great prizes and there are some Michelin tyres to be won this year along with other great products from trials suppliers and local businesses.
Catering will be available at the start all day along with an ice cream van if the weather allows - fingers crossed.

The entry fee is £20 and observers are required who will be paid £20 and will receive a voucher for the catering van. Obviously the £20 can be donated to charity if they so wish. We have transport to get the observers over to the far flung sections but anybody with a bike is more than welcome to help as it is a great run out over the moor.

The start will be signposted and can only be accessed via Duper Lane, Abney, Derbyshire, S32 1AH with entries closing at 10:30 ready for an 11am start.

If anybody can help observing or would like to donate anything to the raffle then please contact Richard Timperley on 07545 468341 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
