SILSDEN ace Dougie Lampkin has confirmed the dates of his ever-popular summer trials school.

They will be held on Friday, August 7 and Saturday, August 8 at a venue to be confirmed near the town.

The course is already 50 per cent booked and, particularly as they are the only dates on offer, it is confidently expected to sell out.

Accompanying multi-world champion Lampkin over the two days will be members of his family, plus five-times British champion James Dabill and 2011 world youth champion Jack Sheppard.

Around 20 riders will be accepted each day and these will be split into smaller groups according to ability, while receiving personal instruction.

There will be a maximum of four hours of on-the-bike training, with advice given on bike maintenance, competition strategy and physical training, with Lampkin rounding off each day with a demonstration.

Bookings can be made via www.g2fshop.com, with payment including insurance and a souvenir certificate.
