r2wtrials Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) That you Joe ?Is that the same place as the motorcycle round was held this year? Edited October 4, 2008 by r2wtrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Will this be similar terrain to the recent comp near Peter Tavy?Not too sure 24" wheels will be best suited to it, but if I'm free I may have to venture up for a play!

scorpy Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi Nathen you can enter on the day, its a good place to ride mostly rocks, there will be certificates at the end of the trial for 1st,2nd 3rd,in each class e.g white-blue-red-yellow,we are doing this trial as a guide to how much interest we get so we can hopefully do a series for next year,which will be good for the south west.No its not joe, kelly farm is where they held the british motorbike round.luke its better at botter rock there isnt any of those over the handle bar pot holes which you found so easy,it will be ok for your 24" and it wont be marked out as hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Good on yer Melv! I was worried you'd lost interest after the last one (which I actually had a cracking good day at), glad your giving it another shot; Matts got my number if you want me to pop up and help with the sections.Botter Rock is an awesome venue, definately one of my favourites, and also easily accessable to all forms of vehicles (no trecherours country tracks). It also is pretty hospitible in terms of weather, as most of the sections are under tree canopy and theres very little serious wind in that area. Anyone making their way down for this is on for a really good and challenging trial.I'll do everything I can to be there.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Gardner Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Really want to go, i'll get down there somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Ross, if you book now, you can get a single train ticket to Newton Abbot and a single back to Reading for quite cheap. I'm looking at doing that, well a single from Kent to there and a single back to Bournemouth. Only problem is that to get there for 11:30, the closet train arrives into Newton Abbot at like mid-night, so ideally to find somewhere to crash. Plus, the comp is about a 10 mile ride from the station. If your up for it, i'l travel down with you from Reading, then if someone could put us up for the night, and possibly give us a lift to the comp or if someone could pick us up, then we'd be sorted. An idea on the train price, for an advance ticket from Kent with a young persons railcard, will cost me £24.50, from Reading I think it was around £18.
