DOUGIE Lampkin braved the dense fog hanging over Addingham Moorside to compete in the opening Yeadon-Guiseley Motor Club's opening closed to club championship trial, to win the championship route class, riding 40 sections without penalty.

It was a typical master class show from the multi-world champion. Conditions at 8.30am when Louis Haley vanished into the murk to check the course marking the visibility was less than 50 yards but by noon the sun was beaming down on a total of 84 competitors.

Clerk of course Danny Cockshott and deputy Haley plotted a shorter course than usual with opening sections on the northern extremes and a return loop climbing the rock escarpment.

On the championship route Dougie had East Morton landlord Martin Crosswaite and Richard Sadler matching every Lampkin move.

Sadler dropped a mark in section seven on lap two so that put Crosswaite and Lampkin at the top of the awards and maybe a tie for the top spot until Martin incurred a penalty, ironically in the final section and on the last lap.

The Clubman A category provided a sensational result for Silsden trialler Gabby Whitham, 18, who won the class from Adam Thornton by a tie-breaker. It was the South Craven School student's first-ever Clubman A class victory.

Trail blazers Phillip Hammond and Rob Hardisty arrived first from Harrogate and departed first after riding four rapid laps, two of which were in dense fog.

Hammond got the victory on a clean sheet ride while Hardisty scattered just four penalties to head Karl Greaves. The Small Wheels division really was a revelation. All sizes and shapes but the usual characters at the sharp end.

Harrison Lightfoot topped the hard route by a mile. Bradley Crabtree won the middle route and Koby Smith posted the lowest score to take the easy class.

Meanwhile, the exposed Lumb Waterfall regions of the Pennine hills were on the damp side when 51 Manywell championship contenders assembled to battle for class points.

A legacy of rain and some snow contributed towards eight slippery sections in the deep valley where stream was about its normal running level.

The entry level was good with 28 contesting the harder route.

Two veterans competed, both ex-Appleyard staff members, Bob Akrigg was taken to the cleaners by Robin Luscombe who was back, but on a TRS machine, after his lengthy, and painful, spinal maladies.

The star ride on the hard route was by Ben Butterworth riding his mighty and pristine 500cc Ariel.

A clean sheet ride left Skipton's Richard Pearson and Earby's's Richard Taylor to salvage the lower places.

Mason Carter was the best of the boys just pipping Martyn Pratt by a dab for Class B. Carter seems to climb the results at every event.

Jason Dunning's section plotting worked with progressive scores in all three classes.

Phil Haygarth took the 50-50 class with an eight penalty buffer over Shaun Lightfoot and Robin Maude, while Matt Bradley topped the eight easy class contenders.

Elsewhere, the Simon Green Championship trial at Tong on Sunday hit the headlines when one hundred and six competitors converged on the popular Parkwood Offroad Road Centre for the first event on the Horsforth Motor Club's calendar.

Despite the weather distance seemed no object even with dense fog blanketing parts of West Yorkshire.

Just seven days after a major enduro event the dense woodlands still afforded ten good but mild sections.

Five competitors, in three different classes, managed ride all 10 sections four times without penalty.

The first 10 finishers in two classes recorded single figure scores.

James Croft and Anthony Ayrton contested the hard route but were in different classes.

Bradford's Chris Johnson again won Clubman A from Horsforth motor cycle dealer Nige Pearson and championship sponsor Simon Green.

Pearson dropped a mark in sections one and nine on lap one otherwise the top man at Trials UK would have been the winner.

Pontefract's David Brogden rode his 50-year-old BSA Bantam to victory in Clubman B without a single penalty.

The Horsforth Motor Club thank all officials especially the 10-section observers who bore the brunt of a cold wind.
