The run around 3rd centre round trial started on a very bright and hot Sunday morning with 10 outfits (5 experts and 5 Clubman) signing on at Bims Field.
The first group of 4 sections were within Bims, This saw an early retirement
of Martyn Kissack & Nigel Woods on section 1 with a nasty tumble down
the grass bank
Section 4 proved to be a no go for all the expert riders and passengers on
this occasion.
The outfits then moved to Larkhill for another 4 sections, to be ridden twice, the fourth section proving difficult for the pack. However Adrian & Arron managed to pull though by dropping 1 mark over the nasty rutted grass bank, closely followed Gary flowers & Antony Smith and Jake Kelly & Ealish Baxter.
The next group of sections were at Lower Ballacottier Farm 3 sections to be rode twice, these consisted of river and muddy banks with Adrian & Aaron pulling their lead out by a further 5 marks and the only crew to clean the nasty steep bank on the first lap and show the way home to the other expert crews
The trial then moved next door to Clypse Moar Farm which the outfits rode
3 laps of 6 sections. These consisted of rivers, wet grass land and tree roots.
Arriving here Adrian & Aaron had a total loss of 15 marks followed by
Gary Flowers & Ant Smith dropping a total loss of 17 and Jonathon and
Ealish at 3rd position with a loss of 33 Kevin Whiteway and James Caine in
4th position dropping 69 marks.
The last group was back at Bims riding the first 4 sections of the day, to which all the expert riders cleaned.
Clubman
The clubman rode very similar sections with slight variations. Craig Baxter
& Ross Mc Cann and Gerry Hannay & Paul Watterson were inseparable
until the second lap of lower Ballacottier farm both losing 20 marks were
Craig & Ross took the lead on the Scorpa outfit with Gerry and Paul losing
7 marks on the last lap and 3rd position going to Father & Daughter team
of Brian & Lauren Christian 29 marks and 4th position going to Dougie
Christian & Sally Hardie with a loss of 37.
Gerry and Paul tried hard to catch Craig and Ross but this didn’t prove
successful and the positions stayed the same until back at Bims’ field.
The Southern Club would like to thank all Observers, Officials for their help and land owners for the kind use of the land.
