Event Type

This is a trials competition run primarily for road going vehicles and is intended to be none damaging (RTV Trial). As with all our trials you should be able to drive to the trial, compete and drive home again afterwards, however, for this trial, as an experiment, we are accepting trailered vehicles that do not have to be taxed/insured etc…. You will have the chance to walk each section and novices will get to see other vehicles drive it first. A guide to entering and competing in trials is available here…
Trial Information…
Scrutineering starts at 9.15am, closing at 10am with the trial starting by 10.30am, please see the directions for information on the meeting point.
This site is a mix of open moorland and a stone quarry. As always the sections will be set to suit the vehicles taking part so please book early so we can give the setting out crew an idea of what vehicles to expect so they can set out accordingly.
This event is being run under an MSA permit. Full SR’s for the event can be supplied on request. An extract of the most relevant parts is given below. You will need to be a member of the YORC or an invited club to take part (YLROC and ALRC are invited), you must also have completed or be named on a declaration form. You will also need a Motorsport UK license, available for free from here…

Directions:

These directions were correct the last time we visited the site… which was a few years ago, please check the map before you set off !

From the M65 leave at junction 12 and turn towards Burnley then turn left at the B&Q roundabout.
After 100 mtrs. turn right at next roundabout onto A682 (towards Burnley) for about three quarters of a mile to the traffic lights.
Turn left into Halifax Road, up the steep hill, past the Snowball pub until you get to a cross roads (Lane End pub on your right).
Go straight across and up the hill `till you come to a T junction, turn right onto Nelson Road.
After about half a mile at the cross roads (Sun Inn & Hare & Hounds) keep straight on, proceed with caution as the road is very narrow.
Half a mile, after crossing a river, then going sharp left between houses, the main road turns a sharp right. You should KEEP STRAIGHT ON into Shay Lane. (If you come to the Roggerham Gate pub on your left, you have missed Shay Lane).
Keep straight on, across a cattle grid and then just before going into the farm yard turn left along the track to the quarry.

PLEASE CLOSE THE GATES BEHIND YOU IF YOU FIND THEM SHUT
