WELCOME TO THE CLEE HILLS TRIAL IN SOUTH SHROPSHIRE
Clee Hills Trial 2026- Information
This year, the Clee Hills Trial changes almost not at all. Midland Manor Motor Club continues to support us, and below them the organising team remains the same. Clerk of Course - Simon Woodall; Chief Marshal - Adrian Tucker-Peake; Secretary of Meeting – Pat Toulmin. plus their stalwart assistants – Barbara Selkirk; Richard Houlgate; Rob Roalfe; Graham Austin
We are keeping the same sections, and gain one new one in an existing venue, and see the return of a favourite missed for last year’s event – Abdon Liberty. Meadowley Wood has been the scene of major earthworks over the summer to ensure that reversing down does not carry such a risk of damage. Everyone will do the much same hills but not necessarily in the same order, with Class O missing out those deemed not suitable. Bikes will be expected to have factory fitted lights, unless running in Class X. Once again we will be offering the option of Shared Drives, this is NOT double-running, the car gets one score regardless of which person drives the section, rather like the drivers in long-distance sports car racing. This could be an opportunity for your under age relative to have a go, but only on the sections that are on private land.
The start is once again at The Squirrel in Ludlow, with the Travelodge next door one on side, and petrol at the Co-op on the other side. Could a start be more convenient? The 24th January is Burn’s Night, so the Travelodge may well fill up quickly – you have been warned. We are assured that petrol will be available on Sunday morning unlike last year when the Co-op changed hands, closing at 8:00pm on the Saturday night and reopening under the new owners after we had all left.
Signing On reverts to paper. Car Scrutineering will be carried out electronically, but we will have an official wandering around the carpark making random checks. Bike Scrutineering will be carried out at The Squirrel. The route will be just under 75 miles (this is not just luck, Motorsport UK has a price change at 75 miles so we like to keep below that.), with a fuel stop at about half way round.
Riders of the heavier “Himalayan” bikes will have a class of their own with a slightly easier route this time round.
