Currently running 6 overall with a slim chance of winning class.

Good luck guys, keep it on the black stuff and don't drink all your samples all at once

Improving every day. The latest results include an error. We are not 502 points, we are currently on 188 points, running 6th overall and 2nd in class (behind the overall leaders who are in our class).

Sweltering hot up in. Just stopped at Invergarry. On to Ben Nevis shortly then overnighting at Loch Fyne.

Cheers for posting those photos. Look good.

John, Rest & Be Thankful's a good test; sure you guys cleaned it! Send best to Ben...we're egging you both on from here in sunny Oxfordshire. And remember...when a little down on time; "GLF!"

Will post a video of our run - we were three up with a passenger in the back!


Finished 6th overall . 2nd in class behind the overall winner in a Lotus Élan.

Brilliant week - many pics and vids to follow.

Had a really top time on the Malts last week. If anyone has never done a HERO rally before then I can heartily suggest you do, post haste...

[velocemitch]

Well done guys, I'd love to do something like the Malts, but the costs are a bit eye watering to me...

Some cracking photos though.

[johnfm]

They are eye watering to us too....but that's just the bar bill!! I thought I could drink, but my driver put me to shame!!

Considering we did 1250 miles over 5 days, staying at places like Turnberry and Kingsmill, stopping off at Balmoral and eating good breakfast, lunch and dinner - it is pretty decent value.

As the photos show, the roads are second to none.

People on the tour were a great bunch - made some good friends. But I still have a hangover!


An awesome week well worth doing.

That's looks fantastic! What are the costs involved in taking part?
