EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the rugged countryside of Beggars Roost in North Devon, England. It showcases a remarkable moment from the prestigious Motor Cycling Club (MCC) Lands End Trial held on April 10th and 11th, 1936. In this image, we witness M. Laidlaw fearlessly maneuvering his powerful AJS motorcycle with a sidecar through an uphill climb. The vintage motorbike, boasting an impressive 990 cc engine, effortlessly conquers the challenging terrain as Laidlaw skillfully navigates every twist and turn. The atmosphere is electric as spectators line both sides of the rustic lane to catch a glimpse of this exhilarating motorcycling event. With their eyes fixed on Laidlaw's daring ride, they are captivated by his display of skill and determination. Laidlaw's exceptional performance earned him well-deserved recognition at this trial. He was awarded the prestigious Premier Award for his outstanding achievement in mastering Beggars Roost's treacherous hill climb. This photograph not only captures a thrilling moment in motorsport history but also serves as a metaphor for human resilience and triumph over adversity. It transports us back to an era when motorcycling was more than just a sport; it represented freedom, adventure, and pushing oneself beyond limits. Preserved by Heritage Images from WJ Brunell's lens, this timeless snapshot allows us to relive the excitement and passion that defined early 20th-century motoring culture.
