First Rally of the season.

Hi to all,

Kelso rally which was very good but I cannot say the weather was very kind due to a lot of wind and rain, a bit better on the Sunday we got to see a bit of sunshine but poor for May month.
The spares stalls are very good for the tractor people but very little for the Bedford CFs, and only two Bedford's showed up.
Great show of Landrover's of every type made which was interesting for me as I spent twelve years working on them through the eighties into the early nineties.
Had a good run down and back without any problems and meet some very interesting people, so a very good weekend.

Second Rally.

Hi to all,

Second rally papers have just arrived this morning for Thirlstane castle near Lauder so it is back down the A68 on the 5th of June, and hope for better weather than at Kelso.

Looking for better weather.

Hi to all,

I hope the weather gets better before next Saturdays rally in Lauder in the grounds of Thirlstane castle, this is a great site for the vintage rally but a bit of sunshine would make it a real pleasure.
The only part of the journey south that gives cause for concern for mad drivers is the A720 by-pass around Edinburgh the rest of the trip is a pleasure, in total 101 miles.

Road ready.

Hi to all,

Well I seem to be getting back to a road ready state with tyre pressures and grease points all done and a quick repair to the screen washers, once I have rechecked the lights and filled up some fuel all should be right for next Friday and the run down to Lauder for the rally.
There is always the chance that something can go wrong so I try to rule out as many possible failures as I can then set off with an easy mind and a prayer of course.

Hopefully a fully paid up recovery service too.

Recovery.

Hi to all,

No recovery service at the moment due to lack of funds but a good pair of walking shoes and a well soaked petrol rag plus a lighter, and a well worn day glow jacket.
