I'd love to! Will consult the Crazy one before committing. Feeling a bit daft about driving around the area before, do you know exactly where it is so I can find it?
Trials...........and tribulations

Why is the side stand on the right hand side on trial bikes?

I used to think it was because the kick start was on the left, well on most of the Spanish bikes anyway. Was just a theory and doesn't stand up now as lots of the bikes are right kickers
Unless it's just the fashion?

My Beta has a left hand kickstart, and the sidestand is on the left. Denise's Sherco has a right hand kickstart, and the sidestand on the right.
I've never really thought about a connection between the two, and I usually use a tree, or just lie it on the floor anyway!

We went past there "the last time".
But I couldn't see anything resembling a Trials-like-setting. I saw a church and a dead-end. So unless they put up signs or there's tons of cars/vans/tailers/trials-bikes/etc somewhere, then I'll be driving/riding around the area again, looking my usual stupid. 
Got my first event this Sunday with the Aqueduct Classics Club
We will be there to help you along.....................fettling my bike this afternoon, in readiness

Yeah but........... It was cancelled last time you were trying to find it. I'll give the organiser a call and get some more info, I haven't been to this venue either.........
Apparently it will be signed by the Little orange arrows with plenty of parking in the farm yard. Hope to see you there if you can make it.

If it's signed it shouldn't be a problem. 
Unless something comes up, we'll be there. Thanks!

Welcome to Welsh trialling
I was the only UKGSER finisher (no. 55)
and just found out I lost only 86, on the intermediate level Clubman yellow route - out of a max theoretical potential loss of 200 - well pleased with that
- I thought I would be north of 100+ marks lost
I'm completely knackered today...........................yesterday's Trial, nr Llangollen was a complete bitch of a Welsh mudfest

2.15 marks per section on average - that's just the right side of footing through everything !!
Is Timolgra intimating foul play may have been in evidence at some point during someones weekend
Welcome to Welsh trialling
You know it's going to be a tough day when the COC tells you "Its a bit slippery".
Getting TO the sections was interesting enough, never mind through them. I gave up after two laps, and having to re-bolt my front mudguard after mud pushed it off!

Considering the awful conditions (many sections were changed for Lap 2, it was so hard) I thought it was an ok score...............I had some good cleans, not many 1's and 2's and the rest were 3's or 5's................some sections were great and others were nigh on impossible - even to get to the section start cards
The terrain in open ground, was harder than some of the sections - nearly a third of the entry packed up early
Problem was the overnight frost, had thawed on a Welsh mountainside
