The picturesque market town of Knighton - nestling amongst the pine covered
hills of the Welsh borders - was the venue of this weekend's 4th round of the
Metzeler ACU British Enduro Championship. With a Gothic clock tower at it's
centre, the town has a European feel & so did the Central Wales Auto
Club's event. The hard standing start area was in the car park of Benson's
factory on the outskirts of the town with an adjacent field for the campers.
The weather was glorious with 3 days of cloudless skies. Clerk of the course
Mark Vaughan had laid out a course that would have been good to ride in the wet
but in the dry it was fantastic. Report
