Announcement: OffRoad Archive, SSDT Archive.

It is with pleasure that we announce that an agreement has been reached between Mr. Deryk Wylde of Off Road Archive and John Moffat of Trials Guru website, that will allow accessibility and continuity for the information collected by Deryk over the years on the Scottish Six Days Trial. This will eventually be entrusted to the Trials Guru website so that generations of trials enthusiasts may continue to enjoy seeing the information, completely free of charge.

John Moffat said: “I have known Deryk Wylde since the 1990s when I wrote some Scottish based articles for his magazine, Off Road Review. I then wrote the book ‘Scotland’s Rich Mixture – Motor Cycle Sport in Scotland 1945-1975’, which Deryk published under Nostalgia Publications in 2005. It is primarily a custodianship exercise as Deryk is now well into his eighties, and we are all faced with mortality at some stage. It was only proper that contingencies be made, so that the material is freely available and when the time is right, the passing on of the baton. Other aspects of Deryk’s work will be similarly attended to. Deryk Wylde has amassed a massive collection of SSDT information over the years and it is important that this is preserved and made available in accordance with Deryk’s wishes.”

We will announce when material has been transferred and how it will be displayed so that readers can access it.

As has been said previously, Trials Guru is a free to use facility and is not for profit and never will be.

Trials Guru believes that the best way to record the history of the sport is by a dedicated free facility, worldwide.
