Having just finished cataloguing over 6000 images from the Flying Scotsman its time to re-pack the bags and head off for another event.  

This weekend it's back 'up North' only this time just to Yorkshire, for the next round of the Autosessive HRCR Clubmans Rally Championship, the Ilkley Jubilee on Sunday.   This year the rally is based just outside Harrogate, at the Milestones, it should be, maybe using some areas not used for a while, we will find out tomorrow!

Having now packed, and caught my breath I now have time to add some photos of the top 3 finishers from the FS, claimed to be 'The Longest Timed Rally for Vintageants'.

023-FS14_7856Starting the Allendale section just before the Ford, my colleague Mike caught the winners William Medcalf/David Kirkham from a great vantage point. I'll leave you to look at my photos to work out the vantage point Mike took this from!

2nd O/A went to previous winners Paul Carter and John Bayliss, in his pretty 1936 Bentley Derby 4 1/4, seen below very early on the last day of the event.

and third went to David Thompson and ex FS route desginer Alan Smith in the great looking Talbot 105 Alpine, also a 1936 year model.

Lastly a couple of shots of the winning crew, shortly after Lunch on the first day, and a 'tight' line that certainly made my colleague Mike Sargent 'concentrate'.  Left is his shot, mine is the upright shot.

Get him William, Mike's just around the corner!

Funny thing, we couldn't remember if it was because a car was coming the other way, or perhaps he just didn't like Mike!

And lastly a shot of the fourth placed crew, who were third on day 2, Nick Jarvis & Ryan Pickering in the lovely Jaguar SS 100.  Taken on the Allendale section after Lunch in Stanhope.
