About Pennine Land Rover Club.

 

      Pennine Land Rover Club was one of the 1st Off-road clubs formed in the UK.

      Having been set up in the mid-sixties by 2 brothers from giggleswick, near Settle in North Yorkshire.

      The influences of Pennine LRC were far reaching from the start : it was a founding member of the ARC (now the ALRC) and the

      club helped to think up many of the trialling rules and some more of the unusual events such as point-to-points.

      The club reached its peak intake in 1985 when it had an impressive 500 members and 100 associates, Although numbers are

      currently down on that to around 100 members, Club Chairman Mark Barnes has noticed that interest in the club is

      `getting better all the time`.The proof of this is that hits to its website www.penninelrc4x4.co.uk is increasing all the time to

      hundreds of hits per day. Club member Chris Hadaway and his daughter Jemma took over the websites development early 2007

      and by keeping the site regularly updated and having Shot In Digital - Motorsport Photography looking after its galleries it

      continues to draw in the crowds with new spectators turning up to each event. Many of which leaving the days action with

      thoughts of building there own Trialler to compete in, and if building a motor of your own sounds a bit drastic, there are events*

      where budding competitors are permitted to sit in as a navigator to get a taste of what its all about  (*Subject to day membership

      at the request of any driver choosing to allow a new navigator to help out).

      The club atmosphere is relaxed but competitive. Someone's always there if something goes wrong. If a competitor breaks

      down, there will always be a bunch of people around to help you carry on and lend as many hands as it needs to try and

      repair your motor.

      The rules are also quite relaxed - The normal trial rule  of "Stop and you're out" doesn't apply. Pennine normally allow a three-

      second rule, Where you can keep going as long as you're trying.

      Keen to form an alliance with other Land Rover clubs in the area, the Northern Trialing League was invented to get northern

      clubs to play together. Since becoming chairman one of Mark Barnes's biggest project has been to reinvigorate this event

      by encouraging more clubs to join Pennine. An increasing number of clubs are entering.
