One of my most valued possessions is the book 'Six Days in May - 25 years of the Scottish Six Days Trial 1970-1994' by Jim McColm, long time secretary of the SSDT. In his introduction to this book, Jim refers to researching a follow up to be titled 'After the War - SSDT 1947-1969'. My query is, did this second book ever get written and has anyone seen a copy? I've tried all the usual avenues of enquiry but with no success. Many thanks - Dick

SSDT book
There is another book with details of the SSDT, entitled 'Lochaber Rich Mixture', which I published many years ago and has long since sold out.
It comprised the personal memories of the event by Ed Stott, related to me over several years, with copious photographs from Ed's own collection.
Sadly Ed died before the project was ready - but I wrote the book using all of Ed's notes, which were bequeathed to me.
I know Jim McColm valued his own personal copy, as indeed have many others, so I have serialised the entire book, and added many more photographs and published it again in the non-commercial 'Offroad Revue' digital magazine available exclusively from www.trialscentral.com.
The digital magazine is regarded by many as a multiple-whammy, since I am republishing the printed magazine 'Off Road Review', but with many additional photographs that could not be included in the original version because of the cost of printing and postage way back in the day.
