In front of me the Land Rovers of all different shapes and size are busy doing what they do best, slogging through deep water, scrambling over enormous mounds of clay and generally having a great time.
The drivers in this trial are desperately trying to complete each section without touching the canes that mark out the course. It sounds simple enough until you look at how close the stick is to each other and how tight the turns are. When a driver gets a clear round, by missing all the canes and not topping, a cheer goes up from the knowledgeable onlookers.
It’s a great event to watch, because you can safely get close to the action, and you learn a lot about off road driving from other’s mistake and success. Although the action appears to be very sedate, the driver’s faces paint a very different picture, each one v combination of intense concentration and fear of missing and trashing the next gate.
Performance well in soggy sand. Mind, you it would need more aggressive mud tyre to cope with this heavy, sticky clay.
