Cascades

The first trial of the year in WA is the Esperance club's annual 3sheep trial at Cascades. I've been once, and it was the enjoyable, well organised trial I'd heard about. Bill penned for the first time and made a final, so perhaps that may have coloured my perception... but regardless, it is a trial that people always recommend. It's just a pity it's so far away.

This year it was just too much to cope with a 5+ hour drive to a weekend of temperature extremes with a brand new baby. So we missed it.

Here are the results, anyway.
