Keith Sanders also dropped 3 on Trevilla in his Scimitar, however he had also lost 3 marks earlier on Crackington. Dave Haizeldens new Scimitar made its debut but ended his challenge halfway through the event when his Quaife/Fack diff broke. Dave is not having much luck with Quaifes as its only a few weeks since the one in his Golf disintegrated.

Tristan Barnicoat was best motorcycle with Kathy Martin only a few marks behind in a well supported Class B1.

Steve Urell was best Sidecar again and commiserations to Julia Browne who ended up in A&E but is on the mend.

Exacting Edinburgh

With most of the classic Edinburgh sections still unavailable the event still continues to be a shadow of its former self. Still it had the benefits of the wonderful Derbyshire countryside with its spectacular views.

A new hill was introduced called Chrome Hill which turned out to be a mud PCT style section which many considered inappropriate for the event.

The size of the puddles in the car park were a bit of a giveaway as to what the conditions would be like early on, very muddy and slippery, typical Autumn Trial conditions that we haven’t seen for some years.
