Filmed as I happened to be walking along Arkle Beck on the same day as the Trial.

The Scott Trial began in 1914 when Alfred Angas Scott, inventor and founder of the Scott Motorcycle Company challenged the workers at his factory to ride from the factory in Shipley through the Yorkshire Dales to Burnsall, a riverside village near Grassington. Of the 14 starters only 9 finished. The event was reintroduced after the First World War in 1919 and although Alfred Scott died in 1923 the event continued to be run by the Scott workers until 1926.

The Bradford and District Motor Club then took over the management of the event and moved the start and finish to Blubberhouses, a small village in the borough of Harrogate in North Yorkshire. In 1938 the land was owned by the Leeds Waterworks Authority which decided not to allow motorcycle trials on their property, so the trial was moved again to Swainby, on the north western corner of the North York Moors National Park in Cleveland and control was taken over by the Middlesbrough and Stockton Motor Clubs.
The current Scott Trial continues to be a time and observation event run over an off road course of 84 miles, divided into 76 sections. Riders lose marks for putting a foot down or "footing" in the observed sections and for finishing behind the fastest rider. Over the years a huge range of special awards and memorial trophies have become associated with the Scott Trial, including 'best performing Yorkshireman' and 'oldest official finisher'. As in 1962 the weather can be as harsh as the course. In 1998 only 27 of the 147 entries completed the course. On this occasion Graham Jarvis won for the third time with the fastest time of 5 hours 50 minutes. In 2008 rain reduced the finishers to 60 out of 200 with Jarvis winning for the 8th time. In 2009 Graham Jarvis won again despite being 28 minutes slower than the previous years runner-up James Dabill. His unique skill over the sections, losing him 22 points compared to Dabill's 38, gave him his ninth win.

The 2010 Scott Trial was won James Dabill with a 4 point lead over Graham Jarvis. Three-time winner, Dougie Lampkin, retired due to machine failure in the early stages for the third year in succession.The 2011 Trial was won by 19-year-old Jonathan Richardson; James Dabill and Ian Austermuhle were joint second.

A History of the Scott
The Scott trial originated in 1914 when Alfred Scott, inventor and founder of the Scott Motorcycle Company, issued a challenge to his workers at the Scott motorcycle factory and those of his local agent. The challenge was to ride and navigate their way from the factory in Shipley through the Yorkshire Dales on a prescribed route to Burnsall. Of the 14 starters only 9 finished.
The current Scott trial is a time and observation event run over an off road course of approximately 84 miles, divided into approx 75 sections. The riders lose marks for “footing” in the observed sections and for finishing behind the fastest rider who sets standard time. Marks lost are at the rate of 1 mark per minute after standard time
