Land's End Trial 2008

Tomorrow I'll be in my old Easter stamping ground, at Blue Hills near St Agnes to watch the Land's End Trial.

The weather forecast isn't brilliant but the usual reprobates will be there.

Ed Holloway is marshalling this year and is in charge of the Widemouth Control. Say hallo to him when you're there. His MZ ride on the Exeter Trial was completed but without going up any of the hills. His gearing was all wrong and the weather was foul.

Adrian Booth isn't in it this year either. A coolant house came off the engine of his Peugeot 205 on the Exeter, unfortunately taking some of the thermostat housing with it so he dropped out. During 2008, he's going to concentrate on classic Ford sidevalve stock car racing. I'm really going to have to get along to one of their meetings.

But Rob and Dave are competing in Dave's BMW318 Sport. Here they are last year on the way to a Gold and ultimately a Triple.

There'll still be loads of us watching them again this year at Blue Hills, even if it isn't quite as sunny.
