Hadrian on Tour - Malton Forest Rally

Six of the team popped down to Langdale to manage a FF and Stop.

Thanks to Andy K, Andy W, Kev and Kathleen, Dave and Charlie for making it happen.

Some key moments from the day…

Very early start. Up at 3am
A19 closed due to an incident
It rained all day- well from 9am
New easyup testing and passed with flying colours
Great breakfast- thanks Kev and Kathleen!!!
Cakes delivered to the stage for us. Someone must like us…we all enjoyed them
Great Malton Forest Woolley hats!
Saw a few cars in the rain with some very well prepped historic cars and a BMW 2002
Not sure who won…

Auto timing beams were an issue at the FF when the rains got heavier but Team Hadrian sorted things
One car got a flat battery…no names
A few new Hadrian cars lost their forest virginity
Home for 6pm
The usual for a day out in the forests.

Roll on the next one!

12 car travels to Brotherton- DeLacy event

Early thoughts from Charles and Andy

Yesterday’s event was a blur. 7 starters 3 finishers.
Arrived late due to accident on the A1 which always knocks you a bit and heavy fog and mist throughout the event.
The event used a fair few 4 min sections with lots of marshals and Rally App automatic PCs. No sections timed less than a minute.

The fog killed the challenge
Due to the lack of local rally type roads the DeLacy team need to run through several villages which also keeps speeds down.
Rally App seemed to work better as they didn’t use it for SGWs.
Charlie was great on the maps with lots of crossing maps 105 and 111.
Overall no results last night as yet as some Rally App issues, and brain fade from Andy and Charlie how to record CBs on Rally App but they missed a loop between the maps so probably 5 PC or RC pens and were 2 mins shy of OTL.
2 experts finished from 5, and 1 Novice out of 2.
Worth the 200 mile round trip as some good craic at the finish whatever the result

This evening's fun and games will be courtesy of DeLacy moto club. Andy Whittaker and Charlie Tynan are heading south to tackle the 12 car navigation rally.

And on Sunday, a few more club members are heading to the Malton Forest rally in North Yorkshire. They have to be on site by 06:30! That's before most folk are awake on a Sunday morning! Aahhh. It will be fine.

Good craic for a Wednesday!

A few Hadrian members compete in the Hexham 12 car series with the most recent event being the Autumn trophy. Last nights event took a great route all west of Harlow Hill and starting at the Robin Hood pub on the military road with a full house of cars.

The 52 mile event used some classic roads around the Bermuda Triangle, if you know you know, and then running across to Barrasford, Sweethope, east Plashetts and back through Hallington.

Things got a little more serious from Roses Bower and Click’em in with a series of 4 minute sections which sorted the result.

The roads were mainly dry although some slippery conditions caused a few crews small overshoots. Ask the Chairman!

The event was won by Ali P who was a last minute sub for Jon L who couldn’t make it. Ian Tullie sat in the nav seat! The money was on them for a win from the off in the 205.

Second overall was Andy W with John Tubman who also had a great night on the maps, but were beaten by over a minute. Still not bad for a Hybrid car!

The finish was back at the Robin Hood and the results speedily set out. The bait was excellent with chilli and sandwiches.

Peter Gibson enjoyed the event so much last night on his first run out in a Nova that he needed to enjoy the chilli for a second helping. The staff were excellent at the pub too.

Well done Hexham in another great event with lots of marshals staffing up PCs and SCs to keep things tight

Charlie T was also out marshalling.

Andy W and Charlie are out on Friday on a DeLacy 12 car using RallyApp Live. Best of luck with that format..

Few pics from last night.

Ilkley update - Saturday night.

Our hopefully weatherproof and water tight crews and marshals out tonight on the regularities.
White 205 is Ali and Lynsey and the MGB has Guy in the nav seat.

Hope the paperwork stays dry.

Looks a difficult day again tomorrow so you may need your hoods up again.

Keep up the great work all!

A couple of club members are helping provide the results service on the Cambrian rally in Wales tomorrow. Ok. They might be helping out but they will be sitting in the offices at home as with the technology that has evolved care of the COVID lockdowns, they don't need to travel as much as they used to. It's a shame really because trips to the Isle of Man and other locations were great. Links to the two events running side by side here -

I'm having a bit of a clear out of old event paperwork.

Where were you this day in 2013?

I know where I was and I guess most of our club members plus many other North East folk from other motor clubs would have been here.

What a Tour…

Thanks to all of our crews who started the Hadrian Summer Tour which started from the Blacksmith barn at Belsay yesterday.

A big thank you too to Guy and Dave for organising the Tour, and with a very comprehensive road book, and Jo for her excellent culinary skills for lunch and tea.

The morning loop took teams west from Belsay around the old Hadrian Centurion and Cheviot rally areas, with the afternoon loop taking crews east, close to the coast and some roads near the old Yellow Brick Road Rally stages.

Some images of the very diverse cars who were involved.

Take you pick which car you would have chosen to take and which crew! Drop your thoughts in the comments.
