When my brothers and myself bought NCV500 in 1975 I wrote to Plaxtons who had taken over Harringtons with a query which they were unable to answer , but they very kindly sent me a number of official photographs taken for Harringtons when she was new. The distinctive dorsal fin can just be seen in this photo.
The 78th Kaikoura Three Day Trial was held on the traditional date in June, now named King’s Birthday Weekend. 76 solo entrants and 7 sidecars tackled the sections at a different property each day.
The first day was at Birches Road, Oaro, in fine weather with no frost. 3 laps of 12 sections, with no deep mud this year, and just a couple of sections in my grade that I couldn’t clean. Day 2 was held at Dairy Flat off the Inland Kaikoura Road, with fine weather and again no frost. A longer loop today with 4 laps of 10 sections. Only one tricky section in my grade, so points were low.
Sunday night saw us congregate at the Whaler Hotel for a meal and presentation to David Chambers who was riding at his 50th Kaikoura event. A great achievement and no doubt he will notch up a few more.
Overnight some periods of heavy rain could be heard on the roof of our accommodation, however this reduced to just some occasional light rain showers once we got to the venue. Half a dozen sections in the creek, with 3 laps of 12 sections in total. Some higher scores on this last day, but easier sections in our grade this year compared to previous.
Then to prize giving before disbursing for home. The event is supported by riders throughout New Zealand with a large number travelling from the North Island as well as regular competitors from across the full length of the South Island. A notable point is the number of families taking part with two and even three generations competing at the event. The large field of 10 Junior riders completed the same sections and loops as senior riders on all days. Seeing this number of Juniors completing the weekend, and their riding skills is great for the future of the sport.
The placings for each class are on the Pioneer Website. Stand out rides were Finn Pearce riding the red line and looking great on the bike. Each time I see him his riding has improved and he must surely be a future champion. A great ride also by Stuart Lawton on a 70’s Twin Shock TY taking first in Twin Shock, but also first in Intermediate. The Sidecar classes also saw some new pairings and new outfits this year. Stand out ride must be John Lawton who, with Conner Newton in the chair both had large smiles all weekend.

Although my before pic is from the summer, you can see a big difference! Since April, I have been taking @hairfinity pills while wearing a weave (which lasted for 2 1/2 months). I haven't even finished my first month and look how long my hair is!!! These pills work wonders!! #hairfinity#hoponthatbandwagon

The 2022 Monteiths New Zealand Trials Champs were held at Labour Weekend on the rocks around Alexandra. A record entry of just under one hundred riders took on three days of challenging riding. The venues were all close to Alexandra with only 15 minutes drive time to each day’s event. The first day was held on the hills above Hawley Road in warm dry weather. It is a great venue that has been used at past South Island rounds. Day 2 was held at a new property at Conroys Gully in Fruitlands. This would have to be one of the best venues in NZ with sections set up down both sides of a gulley with spectators in deck chairs located along the top of the gully being able to watch action in a number of sections from a single vantage point. The last day was the most challenging with a return to new sections above Hawley Road, but with strong winds, cold temperatures, and showers that turned to rain. Tough conditions for competitors, and also for each observer that stood in the cold wet conditions until all riders finished.
As the largest trials event held in NZ there were some queues but riders and some spectators were very good and helped the observers to keep everyone flowing through the sections. This positive attitude by spectators and riders made it a great event to be part of. The small team that make up the Southern Trials group did an excellent job and put on an event of a high standard. Thanks to them, the officials, and especially the observers, as without them the event could not be run. Thanks also to Lynette who took photos all weekend, as I never got time to pick it up myself.
The three days certainly found worthy champions in each class with Dylan Ball the top rider in New Zealand for the third time. Congratulations to Dylan, and all other class winners.
