VSCC Lakeland Trial
I know some of the historic community like to see the occasional post about VSCC Trials so here's one! Last Saturday they held the annual Lakeland Trial in (yes, you guessed it) the Lake District .
Although some of the hills were in forest sections these were restricted in terms of viewing access by the Forestry Commission and the only spectator viewing is at the Drumhouse Hill section held at Honister Slate Mine. To be honest it's probably the most scenic section so I normally go there anyway. This year the weather was surprisingly good if cold. A few days before it had been forecast for heavy rain showers and strong northerly winds. In the event, as I arrived just after sunrise the sun came out and it was a glorious sunny morning with just a light breeze, turning cloudy and overcast in the afternoon. There were joint overall winners - Peter Kite in a 1921 GN Sports and Edward Williams in a 1930 Austin 7 Ulster. Good fun, great event. Few batches of photos follow. The first three photos were at sign-on at the Mine (you can see the hill in the background in a couple and yes it is as steep as it looks). Then one of a couple of cars approaching the Mine driving up Honister Pass. |
