TYROs and RTVs

We run trials so you can enjoy the challenge of driving your 4x4 off road.

Our plan is to offer an event on the last Sunday of the month, though it will vary between Adventure Days and RTVs and TYROs.

TYROs
Suitable for showroom condition vehicles without mud tyres fitted and driven
between gates (bamboo canes) over moderately challenging terrain.

RTVs
These use more testing terrain and have a higher risk of bodywork contact.
Mud tyres are recommended.

The object of both types of trial is for the driver to negotiate a course by driving through gates (marked by canes) without touching them with the vehicle. Each gate carries a score; if you touch a gate you incur penalty points. The further through the course you manage, the lower the score. Complete the course without touching a cane and you score zero. The lowest overall score wins the trial. Typically there are eight marked sections throughout the day.

Next Event

Next trial is on February 26th at Falnash farm Teviothead, turn right off (heading from Hawick)the A7 at Teviothead. The junction will be marked from the A7 meet at 9.30 am.
