You will get the best advantage points that I can take you to.  There are numerous places we can get too for at least a stage before we move on.  There are 8 stages in total and I only imagine that they are split for each day.  My party in the evening is gonna be a blast, I now have to cater for about 800 people, thats about £6000 in beer alone!!! good job we have sale and return.  For camping there will be a burger van from 6am on sat morning, on the friday our local bar/bowling alley is doing a pint and meal for £5.  If you are coming friday, let me know and I will meet you somewhere.  It will be signposted to camp area so you should not miss it.

GPS:  official postcode for camp is PE339NP but if you use my house address the campsite is a stones throw away  so:  PE33 9LX  No 18 Poplar avenue if you want to call in.  At moment only 3 of us if Hamc still comes but it will be enough.  Its not as if its about our cars as its for the Rally, in fact its for us for a change.

John, have sent you the Tickets, car pass and tickets for the party for the both of you.

Geoff I will see you Friday night if you get car done or whenever.  Just phone my mobile number and I will come to you. I will leave your passes on the spectators entrance from saturday but I will have spares so dont worry.  

For both of you camping and you want to set up prior to going into the spectator area which I recommend to get a good position for tent. Its going to be a bit busy with 30 motor homes, 40 caravans and about 150 tents.

Top Top weekend - absolutely brilliant.

Gotta roll into bed now, but have just flicked through the 750-odd photos i took, looks like I got some reasonable ones...  will try to get them developed over the next few days, work etc permitting...

Cheers to Pete for organising it / inviting us :Thumbs-up

Well, i\'m slowly developing the pics I took over the weekend... got some that i\'m pretty chuffed with!

As a side note - some of the pics look a little static.  I ended up suffering from a rare English photographers problem - or more accurately, a photographers problem that is rare in England - there was too much light!  At times, the slowest shutter speed I could manage was 1/4000 (good sharpness, but poor sense of motion, for non-camera techies )

Then we got more typical English light - a s*dding black cloud sat in front of the sun, with a really bright horizon (giving serious exposure headaches :Grrr).

Still - got enough to make it worthwhile...  Putting them up on my website initially (while developing) - will put the better ones up here later, but for now, you can find them at (fingers crossed I get the link right): http://photo.mentalspace.co.uk/viewGallery?reqYear=2008&reqGalName=[2008-09-14]%20Richard%20Burns%20Memorial%20Rally

You can try this link as well, over 600 pics !!!

Just an absolute fantastic weekend and I really hope we can do this again next year with bigger and better array of cars, more WRC cars but still retain the amateurs v proffessional drivers.  We are going to sit down as organisers and debate if it can happen again here or anywhere else but financially for the charities then its defo worth it.  Not sure on the total raised but I will keep you updated.
I will let the pics do the talking.
