What no restarts!
With high forestry charges this years Clee Hills stayed East of the A49, with what proved to be a good mix of sections to challenge everyone from Beginner to Expert. Many of the sections were not subdivided and there was only one restart scheduled but even this disappeared when Longville was cancelled.

Ryan Eamer has achieved a unique feat, winning an ACTC round on both four and two wheels. Having won the Cotswold Clouds in his Cannon Ryan has followed this with wins on the last years Tarka and now the Exmoor Trial on his 350cc BSA B40.
More on the bike in a minute. Meanwhile Ryan tells us about his Exmoor.
Trial was really good, first group of 3 sections at Porte farm were a nice start to the trial, nice little Bike deviation on the 2nd one and a tricky little restart and the 3rd which caught a few out. I understand these got a little difficult once the cars arrived!
The honours went to Josh Moss and Ryan Eamer, both from trialling families
This years Exmoor was a challenging event with Class Eight filling the first five places amongst the cars.
High Bray was particularly challenging. The right hand side of the track was significantly eroded so there was a considerable camber tending to pull those on three or four wheels towards the bank.
Amongst the restarters all the Class Eight cars were successful but none of the Class Sevens went clean.
Floyds Bank was another tough section. Clerk of the Course Chris Barham found the old section with the ruts had gone so had to mark out a new track. Josh Moss and Paul Merson were the only cleans amongst the 6, 7 and 8’s after which the difficult bit at the bottom was bypassed which allowed the lower classes to at least see section ends even though none of them got there!
Ryan Eamer only dropped three marks on his 350 BSA to score his second win from riding two ACTC trials.
Steve Urel and Julie Williams were best outfit.

Ryan Eamer (Cannon) was the provisional winner of a closely fought battle with Tris White (Troll), Richard Hayward (Escort) and Dave Haizelden (Reliant Scimitar)
Stroud and DMC received their usual full entry for their well established trial. The first half of the route included many traditional hills, some dating back before WW2, even if some like Crooked Mustard have changed their name in the intervening period! Continue reading “Tough Cotswold Clouds”
