April 2026 and so much has happened

It’s only April and Trials Guru has already covered much ground since the beginning of the year!

Pipeline!’ the first full history of an iconic hill of the annual Scottish Six Days Trial with unique photos when it was first introduced to the SSDT in 1964, never before seen!

The ‘Douglas Bald – Story of a lifetime‘ published in March, a fascinating article on a life in trials of a former Scottish Trials Champion (1968).

Sadly, we recorded the passing of Arthur Lampkin; Neil Gaunt and Jeff Smith MBE.

We also celebrated a number of nominees to receive their Trials Guru VIP caps, George Sartin; Steve Colley; Colin Moram and Jack Dance, it’s more than a cap, it’s a badge of honour!

We also launched the SSDT Results Archive in memory of both Ed Stott, the doyen of SSDT history and Jim McColm, the SSDT Secretary from 1970-1994, now the early SSDT results are all in one place from 1909 to 1994 and we may yet go further if we have time!

Not only that we created even more surprises of Trials Guru caps to Peter Race and Mike Hann, plus a host of other enthusiasts of the sport, all ‘Dedicated To Trial’.

Plus we launched the Walker Brothers Photo Archive, some brilliant photos never seen before!

We also discovered who won the 1961 Meteor Challenge Trophy at the SSDT!
