A very frosty and minus 3 morning for the first trial of 2009.

The Musketeers is one of the longest running trials in the UK.

There was a large entry and the course was to be 4 laps of 10 testing sections (special tests).

The first lap went to plan but was hard work as the mud bogs started to become frost free.

 This led to the remaining 3 laps being deep thick mud on most sections.

Rob and Andy finished a creditable 3rd position at the end of the days sport. This was seen as a good overall result for their starter trial this season.
