3 Mousketeers Spotted at The Beamish Trial
The Beamish Trophy Trial
is based on the Travers Trophy Trial of the 1920's (which
incidentally was taking part in the area on the same day) and a
South Shields Trial of about 1925. It covers over 100 miles around
the Northern Dales.
The scenery is
spectacular, and this year there were 129 starters from 150
entrants. There were 109 finishers of which three of our
heroes finished. Unfortunately Ben's Bantam expired (literally) 6
miles into the event.
Bearing in mind all
machines have to be manufactured before 1980, and some of the
machines dated back to the 1930's it is hard on both men ( and
ladies, of which there were a few) and machines.
Other notable locals who
rode included Mike Ransom on his original 1962 Barnet works bike
and Andrew Cooke on a nice DOT.
The weather was poor in
the morning but brightened up in the afternoon.
Keeping an eye on our
intrepid heroes was your's truly who carried fuel, spares, drinks
plus the odd stricken rider ( Ben) in his role as Team manager.
The weekend was a three
night affair, with the first night in the hostelries of Barnard
Castle before proceeding the next day to the trial HQ in a place
called Esh not far from Durham. Needless to say this was at a pub,
called The New Board Inn, fantastic food, and once again a couple
of great nights with like minded souls, Mike Kelly's quiz being
another highlight of the weekend. (although Mike Griffiths and
myself were the victims of dubious scoring allowing Pete
Hallam/Ben Townsend to narrowly pip us)
Already plans are in
place for a repeat next year!
