A great day was had at The Rest & Be Thankful, fantastic weather and not a midge in sight.
   
   All the midges are on Nik`s Teeth ![:D]

Careful Phil - ol' Leadfoot Bagshaw is beginning to hyperventilate. It might be a long weekend :)
   

   
   Trevor,
   I should have took heed. The weekend was long and the name "leadfoot Bagshaw" is very apt indeed. Remind me never to let Nik give chase, when a certain Mr. Bird goes tearing-off in his AC Coupe, down a long, fast, twisting road! My nerves are still shot to pieces [:I]

I constantly hand out free advice but do they ever listen???

This being the first Cobra Drivers Club event, we were blessed with fantastic sunny weather. This is me at the finish [:)]
   We now plan to run this as an annual event, so watch out for more details coming soon for your 2014 diary.

Looks like the timing of this event couldn`t have been better...if it had been last weekend it would have been VERY DIFFERENT!

   I have a feeling your heavy right foot caused the landslide Nik ![:D]

Aaron, I think you're spot on! I've never known the car get through so much fuel, so quickly ;)

Hey Nik,
   
   It was worth every penny :)
   
   But, I think you should lend a hand in the landslide clean-up operation.

[nikbj68]

Indeed it was. I wouldn`t change a second of the whole weekend....
   Well, maybe a cleaner negotiation of the hairpin!!!
   Now, pass me that shovel.

[TLegate]

He went to Scotland and broke it. Told you so.....

   Sorry Nik, but I couldn't resist posting your mishap at the hairpin [}:)]

Who put those cones there???? At least I got most of the way around it, unlike those long skidmarks heading for the precipice!

[Flyinghorse]

The cones mark the old R&BT road,with the other new bit behind the cones for lorries/buses who cant manage the hairpin on the regular road if a convoy has to run up there.
