Walk the course, pay attention to the ground, and then let 4 or 5 guys go before you, watch them carefully and try to get some idea what does and doesn't work.

Pick your lines from there and hope it goes well.

Had a fantastic if very muddy day out. Quite scary and very tight , a one ton would manage just as well as I did in my ¾ ,but it would have been a bit tight in series FC. I don’t know what 101s are like in tight spaces?

I went trialing with my 101 a few times, it wasn't as good as a jacked up 90 in terms of unladen cross country performance, but it was always good fun.

No idea, I made it after someone knifed the side of it, the insurance were kind enough to pay for a new one, so the damaged one was recycled into that.

Sold it to an Australian chap.
