Rights of Way: You are all aware of the major changes that have happened, but making sense of it all is a bit daunting. The best bit of info on the web at present is at LARA's pages. Here is our own RoW Page.

Martin Worgan's Top Tips: Glos CC's On-Line Rights of Way Map Viewer, Superb way of viewing UK's 50k Maps courtesy of MultiMap.com and Bracknell District Caving Club (This link may not work for long!).  :: Pete Dunckley prompted inclusion of this link about Section 59 Vehicle Seizures.


Some of our previous events: We now have an index for previous events and other club's events we've been out to...

History: We've always had a good range of riders in the club capable of riding challenging Endurance events. Way back at the formation of this club Enduros were classed as Reliability Trials. Here is a shot of a founder member Wilf Parker at the Ultimate Reliability Trial - International Six Days Trial event of 1961. History page
