Wallis 8052 was there today! A good event, the road run tonight was cracking, sun came out perfectly!

Will be there tomorrow as I have not missed a single year of this rally since rejoining the rally scene in 2010. This is one of the best local rallies and the organisers always seem to go the extra mile to make it attractive every year. They should be congratulated for their superb efforts.

On Sunday it was alongside the main entrance pathway before you turned left to go to the Arena. The engine was driving the Blakes Saw Bench.

Also, in the programme there was a very nice piece on page 19 saying farewell to the late Jim Snell the former owner of "East Lothian Star"

Many thanks to all concerned for a very enjoyable visit on Saturday while it was raining hard up north in Gloucestershire.

I have some video of the working areas and this will appear later this week on YouTube as usual.

(First got to edit the South Cerney pictures.)

3159 Gladiator & 3651 Earl Kitchener climbing hill in Brixham on Saturday evening:

No finer sight anywhere on the UK rally scene in my opinion.
