[snapper8v]

Sunday looks promising:- http://www.walesrallygb.com/news/1652.php

[buggalugs]

It does indeed

I'll probably be marshalling there - if i get off my arse and get my license sorted.

I got all misty eyed then for a moment thinking they were going to run a stage up here.
Penmachno and Cocaenog from the good old days

Still sounds like a good event, thanks for the heads up.

There is talk that Conwy could be the rally HQ for next year, thus the mid & Nth Wales stages could be run again.

Ah, Good stuff.. Does that mean on the second day they'll do a bit of driving? But the first day is all displays?

I just got a new lens for my camera too..

If anyone is going watch your speed as the Police will be out in force to lighten your wallet. Wales is one of the most anti car places I can think of after Switzerland and would love to see the rally tcome back to the forest's of Kielder myself.

Do you need tickets for Rallyfest? Or are you talking about the actual WRC?

It said on the website it was free entry?

What a great event! Rides with Mathew Wilson were, as you can imagine, in high demand, but my camera had a ride http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RSgoTiIl6M .

I was given a trip with callum Black in his rapid SS1400 Suzuki Swift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM18LSlgP_M and the images are here http://www.lawrencecliftphotography.co.uk/90100/in... .

Then two of us took a "Sunday drive" around the Great Orme Coast Road http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdECdCbn7P0
