Any fellow PHers heading to The Snowman this year (spectating or participating)?

I'll be making the annual journey North to take in a stage or two although a bit disappointed that there does not appear to be any 6R4's entered (yet - I live in hope biggrin). No Sign of Andy Horne on the entry list for first time in a few years that I can recall.

We thought about enetering it again this year in the Cosworth but sadly out of the country for it.

Ave, I wouldn't be heading too far up the stages just in case things start moving, I reckon that would be an appropriate occasion for the bairn of yours to make an appearance, start as it will no doubt continue

Haha... aye no chance me making it. Less than 3 weeks to go Alan, everyone scared to let me go further than 10 miles away from house these day's.

Yep Craig, I have a wee feeling an early appearance might be on the cards, but I thought Donnie might have been able to help it along... shame my fat ass canna fit in the rally car hehe, in hospital twice a week now for monitoring... and I have finally bit the bullet and decided to stop work this friday.

I'm competing.............well, engine was getting mapped yesterday and there's some noise from the engine, then the gasket on the up-pipe blew. Panic stations!! Hopefully fixed then back on the rollers tomorrow before heading up Friday afternoon!

Sorry as I don't know and I'm relatively new here what are you running, have you got a number yet and I'll be sure to look out for the car and try to get some decent shots of it.

I'll certainly try - hoping to take in a couple of stages.

The classic Mini's are always well received, and I see you are locals, so expect a few cheers wherever you go!

The big question - will anyone get near the Bogieman???

Careful with them - they are NOT the routes - they show the extent of the forest being used. Detailed maps are in the programme:

Yeah realised that after I had posted, but still gives a good indication of where the stages will be.
