Event main image
The Club’s Winter trials season continues with the annual pilgrimage north to the stunning surroundings of the Lake District. As ever based in the Lorton/Keswick area, The Wheatsheaf welcome competitors for what will inevitably prove another thrilling day of motor sport; entries are sure to flood the Office with members always eager to test their Pre-war car and their own driving skills against some of the most challenging sections of the year, not least the infamous Drumhouse – always atop the VSCC ‘to-do’ list, the twisting climb to the summit is the ultimate trialling challenge and successful clearance can prove reward enough for the day’s efforts. Following in the footsteps of the Smith family is quite a challenge on this seminal Club event. The new clerking team of Alan Couper, John Gill and local stalwarts David Rushton and Alan Dunn have introduced a number of challenging new hills near the Beck Wythop forest. To allow everyone to get round in time there will be no lunch break this year. Please get your entry in early as the Forestry Commission permit allows us a maximum entry of 100 cars.
