Hi Martin
We climbed up to 15 o/a after the Welsh leg, but then I ran out of talent on the first long Kielder stage on the Saturday and slipped off into a ditch 1/2 a mile from the end of a 17 miler. Car was undamaged but we didn’t get recovered until late afternoon so we had to take a load of stage maximums and rejoined for the Sunday and Monday.
We had a tidy run to the end and set a few top 10 times but we only finished 36th, silly really, we threw away a good result as the car ran like a sewing machine, but then we can all say we were going quickly until we crashed.
It was a good event though, and the stages were in pretty good condition, especially Wales, but only half the entry finished, which thankfully was still about 70 cars.
