Ralph Varden 2018

Event Information

Ralph Varden Trial 2018

The club held the Ralph Varden Trial (a round of the Midland Centre Championship) on Sunday 9th December 2018 at our usual venue – Park Farm, Hook Norton, Banbury OX15 5LR.

Despite the early heavy rain the clouds cleared by start time and we enjoyed some lovely winter sunshine and reasonable conditions.

The river sections were still difficult though – so the decision was made to exclude sections 10 and 11 from the C route on safety grounds.

A Route

• 1st – Steven Harris (11)
• 2nd – Brett Harbud (17)
• 3rd – Guy Kenyon-Bell (23)

50:50 Route

• 1st – John Cowley (4)
