As usual the Taw and Torridge opened up the Classic Trials season after the summer break. Despite the prolonged dry period competitors were greeted by wet conditions as they left the start at the Clovely Visitor centre which certainly livened up some of the sections.
Holsworthy had put in a lot of work on the sections. Finding new ones and regrading some of the old favourites.
The familiar Cutliffe Lane was first on the agenda. The motorcycles didn’t have may problems but it certainly thinned out the four wheel contenders, especially class eight who had a tricky restart.
Julian Lack dropped five in the DP Wasp, ending the trial on 32, just one behind winner Jon Moores on 31 who had cleared Cutliffe Lane but had failed the tricky deviation on the Class Eight version of Lynches 3, the penultimate section.
John Reeves had the only clean sheet on the event to be best Solo.
There was a good outfit entry won by Richard and Tegan Maddern
