RICHMOND MOTOR CLUB young trials riders took on the arduous task of plotting a moorland motorcycle trial course.

Five youngsters were out on Tounge Hill, high above Hurst, on Saturday ahead of the Richmond Motor Club trial on Boxing Day.

The club policy is to get the younger members involved in organisation and to become active members of the main committee.

Most of the course plotting team are teenagers who are also committee members. Thomas Coates is well versed with the moors, as his father Richard is the head gamekeeper for Arkengarthdale Estates.
