After a lot of rainfall, the week before the British Championship, the steep hillsides of Lincolnshire Trials Park were very slippery for the opening lap. The sections got easier as the day progressed as the glorious sunshine dried the sections out.
It was Lincolnshire’s own Emma Bristow who took top honours, followed by Scorpa mounted Jess Bown. A tight battle for 3rd saw Louise Alford take the final step on the podium.
On the Ladies 50/50 route Jen Stephen claimed her first win of the year, 8 marks ahead of Chloe Baker, and lap one leader, Beth Dunning took third.
Catherine Alford came back from her first lap score of 18 to post laps of 11 and 8 to add a second win to her 2018 championship campaign. 6 marks behind was Jazz Hammond and Charlotte Kimber followed a further 10 marks behind. Donna Fox, although riding on a no award basis, finished on just 11 marks aboard her BSA Bantam.
On the Girls A intermediate route, Sarah Bell took a convincing win finishing 33 marks ahead of Molly Mayhew.
Daisy Parsons posted two very good final laps of 6, to claim the B class victory just 4 marks ahead of Elizabeth Tett. Isle of Man’s Kaytlyn Adshead completed the podium.
Summer Peters, also made the trip from the Isle of Man, took the C Class win, finishing on just 20, which consisted of laps of 16, 2 and 2.
In the D Class, Matilda Arbon took her Beta 80 to the win, an impressive 52 marks ahead of Summer Brooksbank.
