The Club’s Winter trials season continues with the annual pilgrimage north to the stunning surroundings of the Lake District. As ever based in the Lorton/Keswick area, the day’s organizers, the Smith family, welcome competitors for what will inevitably prove another thrilling day of motor sport; entries are sure to flood the Office with members always eager to test their Pre-war car and their own driving skills against some of the most challenging sections of the year, not least the infamous Drumhouse – always atop the VSCC ‘to-do’ list, the twisting climb to the summit is the ultimate trialling challenge and successful clearance can prove reward enough for the day’s efforts. Do not miss the chance to participate in one of the Club’s most historic and well-loved events.
There is no charge to watch this event but a car park fee is payable at Honister Slate Mine where Drumhouse is situated. Details of the best spectator stages are available from the trial HQ at the Wheatsheaf Inn, Lorton. Please do follow any signs or directions when on the Forestry Commission sites.
Entry Fee £63.00
