SILSDEN'S Harry Lampkin claimed a landmark success in Bradford & District Motor Club's ES Myers Trophy Trial at Skyrakes Farm, Skipton.

He rode the first privately-owned Vertigo bike to win the novice class, lifting the Chew Cup as a result.

In what was a round of the West Yorkshire Championship series, leader Sam Yeadon won the hard course expert class ahead of Dan Hemingway and Glusburn's Nathan Wrigglesworth to clinch the title.

Falcon’s Andrew Jackson won the Clubman A class, Pudsey’s Mark Chippendale headed Skipton Bultaco rider James Moorhouse in the Clubman B novice category, while Barnoldswick engineer Anthony Ayrton took the Geoff Broadbent Cup after winning the Inter class.

Keighley's Aaron Carter triumphed in Youth Class B.

Against overwhelming odds, Jason Dunning and his Bradford Motor Club stalwarts managed to plot a trials course at the rain and gale-lashed Skyrakes venue.

The entry figure was an amazing 74 contenders who rode a 14-section three-lap course. Competitors travelled from across Yorkshire, Lancashire and Derbyshire.

Fully aware of the weather conditions, the course-marking team plotted a route below the towering pinnacles overlooking Gargrave and that at least afforded some shelter for the 14 hardy observers.
