Yorkshire Off Road Club
Castleford Trial
2nd February 2003

There are times when the quarry at Castleford "sets" to the consistency of concrete... this February wasn't one of them though ! The wet conditions turned the site into a quagmire making any movement around the site an achievement with any meaningful traction in very short supply. Two of the sections had to be dropped due to "force majeur (FM)", in other words the rain just after dinner made two sections that had been OK in the morning undriveable in the afternoon so each group ended up dropping a different section. I've included the scores for those that did drive the two sections for reference but they have not been included in the totals.
The hailstorm meant that the results couldn't be posted on the day. If anyone spots any discrepancies in the scores can you let me know. Some of the score cards appear to have been dropped in puddles and on some of them the ink had run thanks to the wet conditions ! It's taken a while to figure out who got what score on which section but we think we managed to decipher it all correctly :-)
Despite the weather it was a great trial and our thanks have to go to those that set it out, officiated and marshalled on the day. Pictures from the event can be seen here.
