South Midland Centre Hare & Hounds Championships 2009
Final round, Woodend with NMCC
Report: Fraser Law Photos: motoxphotos.co.uk

Northampton Motorcyclists Club held the final round of the South Midland Centre Hare & Hound Championships at their popular Woodend venue. This rarely used venue has a wide variety of terrain and the circuit laid out on this occasion proved quite testing by the end of the afternoon. The sun shone constantly through a clear blue sky, feeling much more like July than September. With wide open grassland sections, wooded railway embankments, tight technical sections, stream crossings, ditches and a small quarry section there was something for everyone. By the end of the event it was the water crossings that proved the most problematic, with some of the exits testing all but the best. Details

Bell Strikes the Dell
Report rideoffroaduk Images ashdigital.net

Rideoffroaduk made a welcome journey back into Lancashire for round 9 of the 2009 series. With fantastic weather blessing the stunning hill top venue for the week leading up to the event, riders flocked to Lee Dell knowing they were in for a feast of Hare & Hounds action on the new course laid out by Wayne Braybrook.

Sunday morning saw thick hill fog covering the Lancashire hills, right on que at 930am it was as though someone had flicked a light switch on and the fog cleared within 5 minutes. At this point competitors could then see what an awesome track was prepared and ready for them to do battle on over the first of two races on the event schedule. Details
