I have just published updates to both the Trials Events Database and the Trials Sections Database. The Events Database now lists over 1400 events, and the Sections Database nearly 1500 event/section combinations, with my normal caveat that both are still very much work-in-progress. Although only a small number of new event/section combinations have been added…
Events Database Updated
I’ve just completed, and published, a major update to the Trials Events Database, which now lists information about nearly 1400 trials over 120 years, including the date of every one of the three major MCC trials. Click the link above, then open the printout, to view.
New ACTC Championship page
I’ve added a new page listing all the events included in the ACTC Championship from its inception in 1984 up to the present day. If I’ve got anything wrong, please let me know using the Contact Me link in the right hand column.
Trials Events Database
As many of you will know, ACTC Chairman Dave Haizelden and ACTC Website Supremo James Shallcross have been updating the Events section of the ACTC Website to include one-page-per-year going right back to the start of the ACTC Championship in 1984, and earlier. Each page lists the dates, where known, of both the Championship and…
Trials Sections Database
Another ‘work in progress’ update. The first, I suspect, of many during the Coronavirus ‘lockdown’. See Trials Sections Database page.
Lyn Hill Update
I’ve received further proof of the location of Lyn Hill. Go to the original “Where is it? – No.3” post and scroll down to the 18 February 2020 update.
What’s been going on behind the scenes?
Regular visitors will know that there have been no updates to this site since late September, but that does not mean that nothing’s been happening behind the scenes. I was about to embark on a major update to the Trials Sections Database but decided to change my priorities. I have, over the last three months,…
Where are they? – An update
#3 – The HRG is on Lyn Hill, between Lynton and Barbrook in North Devon. Go the original post and scroll down to the 26 September update. #4 – The location of Doverhay has been narrowed-down to one ‘most likely’ track. Go the original post and scroll down to the 26 September update.
Where is it? – #4
So where, exactly, is the section known as Doverhay, used for the Brighton & Hove Motor Club’s Brighton-Beer Trial in 1933, and for the MCC’s Lands End Trial (generally for motorcycles only) from 1932 to 1957 (and maybe later)? Is it: Doverhay Road (USRN: 43786546), shown on the map above as a red line? Bridleway…
Trials Sections Database
I have made some minor changes to the Trials Sections Database page and published an updated printout from the Database – all 32 pages and 1150+ sections of it. Those familiar with this ridiculously ambitious project will notice few changes to the published data, although this is now displayed in a new format. I still…
