On Saturday May 24th 2025 Torridge & District MCC is hosting the 4th round of the Normandale Masters Championship on my home farm Hessaford, Kilkhampton. I have set out and run trials on the farm for over 40 years, club, charity and SW Championship events but this will be my first National.

I have already plotted and cut out with the help of Torridge club members, a 2 mile plus lap, taking in parts of the farm not used for trials before, with a few brand new sections. There will be 20 sections in all, Red/Blue and White including seven 50/50. My aim is to set out a challenging Expert Course and a good sporting White Route that is suitable for riders that ride the White in our SW Championship rounds, I am hoping to attract a few more local riders in this way.

Competitors are welcome to camp overnight in the start field, but please ring me on 01288-321 267 to arrange it. Water is available, but you will have to provide your own toilet facilities etc. Kilkhampton village is only 1.5miles away approx. which has 2 pubs, the New Inn does great food, there is a Chinese takeaway and a Pizza place also.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Hessaford for a good days sport.

John Sabotig

Clerk of the Course
