Best wishes all for a really great event , which I know it will be. Unfortunately will be in the USA whilst you are all scurrying around the the northern lanes. Promised myself I would be there this year but not to be. Next year may be --------enjoy!

Niall, Dave and the team never fail to put on a well organised, competitive event and this one was not different! Hats off to them. Thoroughly enjoyed myself again.

But....... They need more entries next year! With all us enthusiasts I find it hard to believe they only had 15 cars at the start. It's ideal for newcomers/beginners as well as experts so make a note in your diaries for 12 months time.

Have got home safely after a wonderful weekend of fun and competition in that order. Great tests, fantastic route & roads with challenging times. Niall, please thank all involved in organising the event, including all the local Motor Club members who manned the controls. As GraemeC suggests it is a shame there were not more entries. I think I can safely predict that the new Experts will be there next year, and me.
Cliff and the others!!!

[sr001]

Once again another fun weekend. Great roads, great special tests, great venues and superb organisation.

A big thank you from car 5 to Niall, Dave, Gordon, Sheila and the many, many other helpers that made the event happen. See you next year.

Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3



...if you turn left at Wark you'll...



The spectators had to be fenced in



Even the experts get it wrong sometimes



The tests put the fear in some



Turn right at the end of the bush



Nice views from the farm



The spectator power stage drew in huge crowds



It's getting dark

[GraemeC]

I could fall out with you!
Shame you weren't a fraction later - that cone would've been halfway across the grass!

Great pics as always though

Im disappointed, my cone flinging skills are dropping - I should've got that much further!
