Chiltern Hills Trials

Classic racers do battle with the vicious inclines and frostbitten conditions of the Chiltern Hills.

Marie Partridge, of the Pinner Cine Society, was the first woman awarded a Ten Best accolade by Amateur Cine World, and here she provides an excellent record of the Chiltern Hills trials. From the initial ‘scrutinising' of competitors' vehicles (tape measures at the ready) to stewards pushing competitors over the final hump, this amateur event is full of fun and endeavour.
