Entries News
We opened for entries at noon on October 1st. Seven were submitted on the first day, with Adam Davis and event newcomer Ian Graham submitting their form first.
Four crews who had enjoyed the 2025 Trial appeared on the list of accepted entries at the close of day 1, led by James and Gill Holt in their BMW 325i this time, and Duncan and Steve Wild in Duncan's rapid Mini. Mike Bayliss and Mike Rands team up again in the Anglia that did very well last year, and Derkk and Kay Reynolds make the journey from Aberdeen in their familiar Porsche 944. Meanwhile, two crews make a welcome return. Malcolm Dunderdale and Anita Wickins have a Triumph TR8, and Michael Moss and James Ewing their familiar Golf GTi.Welcome, one and all.
A busy second day saw the entry hit double figures, and Welsh crews were a big part of that. Welcome back, amongst others, to Hywel Bryn Williams and Ryland James in their Chrysler Sunbeam, back for another year in the car they debuted with a top 30 finish in 2025. It's an honour to have you join us.
Looking at the list in late November reveals plenty of new faces ready to enjoy their first Three Castles. A particular welcome, then, to Paul Taylor and Paul Haslam, Jane Gallop and Chris Thomas, Mark Ridley and Jonathan Holt, Kenneth Macewan and Philip Swain, Jason & Claire Fedder, Andrew Yates and Julia Langskraehr, and Nicola and Ian Warhurst.
As we near the end of the month and entries approach fifty in number, we are welcoming friends old and new almost every day
