Nick Farmer wins Single Venue Exmoor Clouds

Classic Trialling resumed in the current difficult Covid situation with Minehead MC running their event at a single venue.

Classic Trialling came to a halt after the Launceston Trial in March due to Covid 19. With the Government, Motorsport UK and ACU restrictions to contend with Minehead MC were able to run the Exmoor Clouds as a single venue event in Headon Woods. Unfortunately the event couldn’t cater for bikes and sidecars. The other big change was that drivers could run without passengers if they wished as crews from different passengers would have to wear a face mask.

It was tee shirt weather but there was quite a bit of mud around and even getting to the sections proved challenging at times.

Ross Norman in his Deere Special wins the Kryle Trophy at the Ross & District Motor Club. With only 4 points lost on Ropers and the other sections were clears.

The trial set in the beautiful Forest of Dean, fine drizzle continued till the sun shone in the afternoon. Sun was too late for the later competitors and penalty points were soon racked up. As the sections turned into a mud of whipped cream The Kryle is like doing Riverton, Crackington, Tillerton, Simms and Litton Slack over & over. You certainly get your monies worth on this trial.

Retired was Dave Shurbsole with a cylinder head gasket blown, Sticker Martin shock absorbers broke, Carl Talbot suspension. Others were Steve Louks, Rick Neale and Derek Tyler. Andrew Brown who was having trouble with his Marlin on the Lands End withdrew the weekend before, must have been very disappointed not to compete.

Simon Groves had a rear puncture at Goldsmith Wood, but John Parsons could triple that here, as he had three nails in his front tyre! Ian Davis did well for the Falcon club as won the T.C. Longford Trophy. Keith Oakes & his Mrs. were there to make the numbers up & had a brilliant day out.

Well run & marshalled & the ladies at the finish prepared a delightful meal.
