RESULTS

The 2026 Pathfinder 3 Stage trial once again ran at Bagshot D1/2 on the 7th June. We were blessed with perfect conditions and and a final starting list of 83 riders.

This year we ran with the support of the North Camp Enduro Club and included a round of the ACU Trail Bike LDT Championship, incorporating the TRF Trophy.

I think it’s safe to say a good day was had by all!
