IT was an action-packed day at Abbeycwmhir on Sunday, 18 May with a classic scramble which was a round of the Welsh Classic Scrambles Championship as well as the British Classic Motocross Championship.

Hot weather posed some problems with dust as the day progressed but the organisers soon got a water bowser on the track and made riding conditions safer for the 100 plus riders on the day.
