The winter conditions took out three motorcycle trials in Yorkshire on Sunday but Horsforth District Motor Club persisted at Deer Park where 80 riders braved the Arctic conditions overlooking Bingley.

Gomersal expert John Hillam was the outright winner from Richard Mellon, Paul Kettlewell and Harro-gate teenager Joel Sadler.

Guiseley’s Danny Cockshott won the Inter class riding his Gas Gas machine.

He was the only entry in the category so he just had to make sure he completed the course.

Halifax contender Stewart Oughton recorded yet another victory in the Over-40s while his sons, Joel and Daniel, scored a third in the Novice and a win in the Class B Easy course categories respectively.

Shelf youngster Sam Boocock ran away with Class B Youth leaving Guiseley starlet Joe Jennings to pick up the second place award.

Cookridge’s Lianda Dabill – sister of Italian trials champion and world contender James – finished fifth novice in the easy course class.

Class B national ladies champion Danielle Whitham took fourth place in her section, riding her Beta-UK machine.
