Wild & Woolly

Boxing Day took the Ford and the Barefoot families into Market Harborough for the Wild & Woolly charity motorcross race. A great laugh, we came back covered from head to toe in mud from where the bikes threw the mud up. Next year I'm wearing a boiler suit!

The Wild and Woolly charity moto-x is the longest running motorcycle race in history. The event has been held on Boxing Day (26th December) in Northamptonshire on land loaned by various kind farmers or land owners since 1917.

The race consists of an hour and one lap around a gruelling grass circuit with stream crossings, mud holes and hills which get in some seriously muddy conditions deeper into the event.

Proceeds from gate collections go to local charities such as such as St John Ambulance. The event is organised by the Northampton Motorcyclists Club.
