I chatted to Paul Hinton coming back from Plymouth at a service station. He wanted to know who won. I was still riding my '91 Attitude so it could be some years back. Met Jeff Smith (twice world motocross champion in the 60s), he signed a book on classic scrambles bikes for me.
Rode malvern hills classics back in '89, '90.

I worked in the NWMTB centre as a kid and met a fair few people through that, best memory would be building up shop bikes with the late and great JMC though!
