Only a dab for the Velocette win.

Scores were low for the Cumberland County MCC Velocette Cup Trial at Roughton Gill, Caldbeck on July 23 with Stuart Gaskell and David Braithwaite both losing just a single mark over the fell side course that predominately featured rocky streams. Gaskell lost his single mark later than did Braithwaite so he took the overall win by virture of the furthest clean rule, and in these easy trials, the machinery used can vary significantly with Gaskell riding an ancient 175 Yamaha and Braithwaite mounted on a 300 Future Montesa.

Anthony Seales took his Vertigo into third with Robin Oliphant on a 250 Pinky Yamaha in fourth.

There was an even easier course available for a small number of riders with Lee Perie guiding his 212 Fantic to the class win from Tony Johnston who was a further 2 marks adrift.
