NORTHERN TRIAL - UPDATE

2/2/2016

0 Comments

 
A team of seven ventured into the forests where many of our sections are located.  Generally speaking the storm damage wasn't as bad as we had feared.  One of our new sections required work to fill in a deep gully in the access track and the removal of a tree across the route.  Another section has three large fallen trees across the access track, Forestry Commission have this in hand.  We tested a couple of the other sections to check whether to give them restarts or not.  It is all systems go for the 20th February.

Exeter, Clee Hills and Northern Trials

20/1/2016

0 Comments

 
All the Fell Side members who entered the MCC Exeter Trial were awarded medals.  Congratulations to Hal Branson who won Gold and just missed the class award by 0.01 second on the Observed Tests. Coongratulations also to Tony Branson and Derek Reynolds who both won Bronze Awards.

The Clee Hills Trial on the 24th January will see Fell Sider entries from Will & Lucy Lines (Marlin), Tony Branson/Eric Gordon (Marlin), Derek Reynolds/Clive Stephenson (Suzuki X-90).  Carol & Fred Mills along with grandson Alexander Jefferson will be marshalling on Strefford Wood 1 (classes 7&8) and Rattlinghope Observed Test (all classes).

In the meantime preparations for the Northern Trial are progressing. The second batch of flooding caused one of the bridges we use to be closed indefinitely, so a revised route has been devised.  One of the sections we hoped to re-introduce after repair has been completely washed out and another less important section has a tree, the size of a small house, blocking it. However, we will still have fourteen very competitive sections and the new spectacular views from the hilltops.

VSCC Lakeland Trial - 7th November

10/11/2015

0 Comments

 
On Saturday members and friends of the club marshalled on 2 hills, in the Lakeland trial. We were stationed in Wythop woods, on Slate Fell (Where Eagles Dare) and Nanny's Peep (Falcon's Crest). Wythop woods has been closed for 2 years so the forestry could harvest the trees, and is dramatically changed since the last time it was used. The weather was relentless, and by the time we had finished, we were all soaked to the skin and back again. However, we all managed to enjoy ourselves, and it was very interesting to see how these sections run without tree cover.

On Sunday 5 members from the club competed and marshalled in Preston And District's annual Strid Wood PCT. Clive navigated/bounced for Derek, and Fred did the same for Tony. Alexander marshalled on one of the sections, and the weather for the event was very reasonable. The sections were astoundingly dry, and for 3 neighbouring fields, presented surprising variety.

A huge thank you and congratulations to Chris and Diane; after a year of hard work; organising this year's treasure hunt, which featured spectacular weather, cunning and devious clues, and the most dramatic scenery anyone could hope for! Also a massive thank you to Bendles Solicitors of Carlisle, for sponsoring us, so that we could thoroughly enjoy a wine reception, back at the hotel. Also a huge thank you to Kentdale Landrovers, for providing us with a teddy for each car, and the biggest hamper we'd ever seen; which was won by our deserving winners, Clive and Brenda! Also thanks go to Lakeland Motor Museum, and café for hosting us on Sunday morning.
