WELCOME TO THE CLEE HILLS TRIAL IN SOUTH SHROPSHIRE
Clee Hills Trial 2027- Information
This year, the Clee Hills Trial changes its date by one week. We are running on the 31st January. This is because the start venue would not be available to us the previous weekend, but we should be back on our normal date for 2028. Midland Manor Motor Club continues to support us, and below them the organising team remains almost the same. Clerk of Course - Simon Woodall; Chief Marshal – Peter Lawley; Secretary of Meeting – Pat Toulmin. plus, their stalwart assistants – Adrian Tucker-Peake; Richard Houlgate; Rob Roalfe; Graham Austin
The sections remain the same bar the loss of Heywood Common, which is a shame as this was one of the events signature sections having been used since Simon took on the event in 1980. Abdon Liberty is in again. Meadowley Wood’s major earthworks seem to have bedded in well, although we will be running a different mix of classes on the section this year. Everyone will do the much same hills but not necessarily in the same order, with Class O missing out those deemed not suitable. Bikes will be expected to have factory fitted lights, unless running in Class X. We welcome the return of the RE Himalayan fraternity in their own class using those sections to which they are more suited. Once again, we will be offering the option of Shared Drives, this is NOT double running, the car gets one score regardless of which person drives the section, rather like the drivers in long-distance sports car racing. This could be an opportunity for your underage relative to have a go, but only on the sections that are on private land.
The start is once again at The Squirrel in Ludlow, with the Travelodge next door one on side, and petrol at the Co-op on the other side. Could a start be more convenient?
Signing On reverts to paper. Car Scrutineering will be carried out electronically, but we will have an official wandering around the carpark making random checks. Bike Scrutineering will be carried out at The Squirrel. The route will be just under 75 miles (this is not just luck, Motorsport UK has a price change at 75 miles, so we like to keep below that.), with a fuel stop at about halfway round.
