Early-Trial-Riding-in-the-Lake-District-01
At the summit of Blea Tarn Pass with the lofty Langdale Peaks in the background. A group of the successful riders who reached the top of this notorious Pass from Great Langdale. To the fore of the group is a Sunbeam, presumably the one ridden by T Rutherford who showed how it should be done; while the sidecar is most likely a Sunbeam also -perhaps that of Macdonald, though it seems Rutherford may have actually driven it to reach the summit. Other sidecar outfits (including Captain TD Craig's 6hp AJS, driven on this section by J J Dias) made it up, as did several other machines, with among those mentioned the 2½hp Clyno of R Pape, who made one of the best ascents of the day.

With his totally committed all-action style it’s possible to see why Rocket Ron Haslam was always the fans’ favourite. During the early years of his long and successful career, Ron was a regular crasher and must have tested both loyal sponsor Mal Carter’s patience and bank balance. But Ron was never deterred and perfected his craft, going on to have a successful Grand Prix career. Riding for both Honda and Suzuki, he was the man to beat on British short circuits and even won a TT. Haslam is captured here rounding the fearsome Coram’s Curve, at Snetterton, getting the best from his Honda 500 in the 1983 Shell Oils 500 Championship.
