Manx Trials Club Championship 5th Round
                               Ballachrink, Sunday 11 May 2003

The weather was bright and sunny. The forecast rain held off until well after the trial had finished.

Schoolboy experts Nigel and Daniel battled it out for the honours. Daniel was the first to fly high up
the bank on section 8, and Nigel was first to get to grips with the fallen tree:

 
   Daniel Kneen on section 8                             Nigel Crellin on section 1 ...                     ... and section 8

Some of the youngest schoolboys were keen to show the old guys how to ride a log:


    Lee Sealey        Joe Yeardsley        Josh Brain       Thomas Maddrell    Kieran Jones      Tom Callister

More action, including Paul Knight riding up a tree on section 8 and Mike Buttimore with an
excellent clean on the fallen tree, section 1:

   Paul Knight          Mike Buttimore on section 1          Aleyn Taggart      Richard King       David Harding

Jonathan Notman  Damian Owen    Nick Warburton    Colin Scarffe        Andy Sykes         Tom Scarffe

After the trial, Phil had some difficulty getting back across the river, but help was at hand:

Picking a path....throw them to me...careful it's slippy..give me your hand...oops he's going for it,
                                                                                                                better get out of here!
