The September 22, 1949 issue of "The Motor Cycle" covers the 1949 24th International Six Day Trials (ISDT) in the wet and rocky Welsh countryside.
Page after page of pics of Champion riders like Jim Alves, Fred Rist, Murray Walker, Ted Usher, Johnny Brittain and Tommy McDermott on classic marques like BSA, James, Sunbeam, Rudge and Matchless. Scaling the old slate quarry Blaen y Cwm, ridng to the summit of Bwlch y Groes (aka Hellfire Pass), breaking an ankle on the rocks at Waen y Gadfa or trying to keep it straight crossing Abergwesyn Splash. All this for just a shilling.
