Sunday saw the fog lift just in time for the 0930 start. A fantastic day with blue skies and sunshine bathing the competitors in the rag tops.

The route took in 11 tests, should have been 12 but one was water logged following heavy rain earlier in the week. Clatterin Brig test warmed everyone up before the tough climb up the Cairn O'Mount and on to the Durris Transmitter hill climb. Disaster! The new radios for the marshals at top and bottom just hadn't enough puff to work. Nothing to do but abandon the test. Jim McGuiness however had a brainwave and redesigned the test into a half way up and back for the return visit as test 10. No complaints from the competitors so all was saved.

Up to Alford for a series of tests, with a run out to a nearby sawmill, new for this year, and return for a long blast round the Alford circuit, 6 tests in all.

Down to Coull farm for what is always a muddy test. If your car is clean before, it ain't after. Up Durris again, in the new format, before finishing with a little forest navigational through Durris forest. As closing car I paid particular attention to make sure nobody was lost in there before closing and locking the forest gates. (nobody was).

Apart from a few torn exhausts, particularly the MGB of Ritchie and Blake which also kept cutting out, we all made it back to Edzell for a splendid meal at the Panmure Arms hotel followed by the prizegiving.

A big thanks to Douglas and June Anderson for organising this great event. If they can guarantee weather like that next year the field will easily double.

Look out for Jim McGuiness La Carrera Caledonia next June  4th and 5th.
