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.

XGBL650000020 Right to the top, over 11,300 ft on the Pic Veleta in the Sierra Nevada, Spain. Turin enthusiasts Mario Artusio and his father make the climb on their R69S BMW. They are hoping to get an Italian mountain rally jacked up next summer. The Veleta road comes to a stop at the summit and therefore cannot rank as a pass to claim the highest in Europe.
