Motor Cycling Club 120th Anniversary Course Through Common Water Lane

The Motor Cycling Club (MCC)’s 120th Anniversary Dick Peachey Three Day Trial, named to honour their former Chairman Dick Peachey who died earlier this year, sees around 100 classic bikes and cars tackle a 530-mile course including on technical off-road trials sections.

It starts in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire on Friday, 24th June and go to Exeter and back AND includes Common Water Lane. The first cars are anticipated from 11.40am on Friday, 24th for approximately 3 hours maximum. Residents of Common Water Lane have been informed.

The Motor Cycling Club is one of the oldest in the world. At the turn of the 20th Century, a small handful of automotive pioneers established the Club with one mission in mind. To test themselves and their machinery by trekking along the unmade and unlit roads and hills between London and Edinburgh and back. The long distance Classic reliability trial was born.

The Club remains the only one that caters for such events in modern times, and takes much pride in this fact. Over 120 years of competition to date and their events are still capable of testing drivers and riders along with their machinery. These days, those unsurfaced hills have become synonymous with the Club and it’s trials, whether they’re in the Peaks or the South West.

There will be a whole range of bikes, side cars and 2 wheel drive cars on standard road tyres, from pre-war to homemade and everything inbetween, so if you’d like to watch, there should be something interesting to see passing by!

Full Strawberry Moon – 14th June

Today’s Full Moon is also known as the Strawberry Moon, being the time of year for ripening strawberries.

There are many different names for the Full Moons experienced each year. Usually they’re not based on a colour, but on a common activity that takes place that time of year:

  • Blooming Moon is indicative of the flowering season.
  • Green Corn Moon and Hoer Moon suggest that it’s time to tend to young crops.
  • Birth Moon, referring to the time when certain animals are born in their region.
  • Egg Laying Moon and Hatching Moon are Cree terms that also hint at a time of many animal babies.
  • Honey Moon
  • Mead Moon

June was traditionally the month for marriages – it is even named after the Roman goddess of marriage, Juno. Following marriage comes the “honeymoon,” which give may give credence to one of this Full Moon’s names.

This is the second Supermoon of the year – Supermoons are often known to appear slightly larger than a normal Full Moon, up to 30% brighter and 17% larger, but in reality it seem to appear much the same, observed as a bright orb casting a slight golden tint.

The Summer Solstice is next Tuesday, 21st June.
