Mick Andrews, Yamaha’s development rider in the 1970s, was invited up to ride a Yamaha in the event and had a great time.
The trial has settled on two laps of a decent rideout each day with 18 sections per lap and there are streams, banks, hillclimbs and several routes through each section for various classes. There’s a generous time allowance each day and refreshments are provided at the end of each lap.
