It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Arthur Greenland. George was attending a trial in Belgium with his family and passed away in his sleep.

He was an accomplished trials rider, sidecar driver in trials and enduro and organiser of the Enduro Du Super Mare. He developed the Wasp 1,000 twin cylinder racing engine with Robin Rhind-Tutt.

John Moffat of Trials Guru said: “I got to know George Greenland through competing in the Pre65 Scottish Trial at Kinlochleven back in the mid 1990s. I interviewed him quite a few times at the presentation of awards. He was such a knowledgeable and friendly gentleman. He once fetched a Honda RTL engine back from Belgium for me and refused to take anything for his trouble, he said: ‘I was going there anyway and it’s only a little engine’. It was a great honour and priviledge to be able to tell George’s story on Trials Guru website. He was a ‘one-off’ character who will be sorely missed in the trials world, and I mean world, at events in Europe and the annual get together at Telford show. George Greenland was truly a Trial Legend.”

We send our sincere condolences to the extended Greenland family.

George A. Greenland’s funeral and celebration of his life will be at The Stones Hotel, High Post, Salisbury, SP4 6AT on Friday May 30th, 2025 at 11.30.
