This was our third visit to Cockermouth to compete in the Malcolm Wilson rally. Scrutineering, noise check and signing on went without incident and then we discovered the sale in the M Sport shop. I got some M Sport T-shirts very cheap and my dad was very pleased to get a new pair of Ford work trousers for 50p. I was apprehensive before the start due to the roll we had on the Grizedale stages. My apprehension was gone after the first stage. We were trying out numbered notes instead of the descriptive ones we usually use. I found reading them much easier and after the first few stages we decided that we preferred them to the descriptive notes. We thoroughly enjoyed the stages, even though we slowed down slightly when passing the spot in Grizedale where we rolled into the ditch. The stages in Greystoke were fast and exciting and Grizedale was great fun. We’d like to thank the guys from Geoff Jones Motorsport who helped us out in service and Geoff for the cups of tea. We all had a great day, including the service crew. We finished the day second in class and 43rd overall.
