Ilkley Trial 2009 - Classes 7 & 8 at Sword Point : Sword Point 3 was a straight track up into the forest with diversions to the left then right.  Classes 7 and 8 had an easy time of it because they tackled it before the rains came.  I discgraced myself by taking many excellent photos of Simon Woodall's clean run, and Steve Kenny's run up to th four mark without a memory card in my camera.  Doh!

Ilkley Trial 2009 - Class 0 to 5 at Strid Wood 2 : No one in Classes 0 to 5 cleared Strid Wood 2,  many routes were tried to keep out of the ruts, but ultimately only the lucky ones got as far as the really deep ruts.  By the time the last cars were going through the ruts were so deep that search parties would have been more appropriate than recovery vehicles.
