Lakeland Trial

The Club’s winter trials season continues with the annual pilgrimage north to the picturesque surroundings of the Lake District, covering a wide area of the Lakes from Honister in the south to Beck Wythop Forest in the north. Based in the Low Lorton/Keswick area, The Wheatsheaf, as usual, welcomes competitors for what will surely prove to be another thrilling day of motor sport. Entries are expected to pour into the office as members are always eager to test both their Pre-war car and their own driving skills against some of the most challenging sections of the year, not least the infamous Drumhouse. The twisting climb to the summit is the ultimate trialling challenge and successful clearance can prove reward enough for the day’s efforts. 2014 sees the return of the experienced organising team of Alan Couper, John Gill, Alan Dunn, Terry Richardson and Myke Pocock. They aim to ensure the character of this event prevails for the foreseeable future and again will be introducing some new hills. Do not miss the chance to participate in one of the Club’s most historic and well-loved events – the maximum entry the Forestry Commission allow is 100 so enter soon to avoid disappointment!
