The Majors is the weekend the club builds its year around: a classless cross-country trial where teams of three drivers share twenty sections of Welsh hillside, competing for the Majors Rose Bowl — with a shield for the best standard-vehicle team and a trophy for the best all-female crew.
It’s open to all MROC and ALRC club members, and you don’t have to compete for it to count. Camp for the weekend, marshal a section (packed lunch provided), or walk the hill as a spectator — the camping field is as much the point as the trial.

Getting there
Do not enter via the driveway off the A490 — that is the exit route, with no passing places. This is a working farm; watch for stock and machinery. If you arrive when the farmer is moving cattle or loading milk onto lorries, you may be unable to access for quite some time, so please bear in mind when setting out.
