Here's some of my photos from the rally. I say some because I've got loads. It'll take me a week to get through them all.
Day 1.
After meeting up at the hotel on Thursday night, we were up early the next morning for the first convoy drive to Sweet Lamb. After spending the morning in the bowl, I headed up the the top of the hill to stand in the rain to watch the National cars go by and was joined by Martin, John, Dan, Lee and Nicola for the second run of the WRC cars.
Despite what everyone thought, my shorts were a good idea. I'm still thinking up reasons as to why though.
