Wales Rally GB Day 1

[jon.s]

Right, Managed to pop home tonight for a warm sleep as tomorrows stages are a walk from the front door lol

Spent my Friday in a very Cold, Icy, Snowy Myherin Stage, I had chosen one location but as the stage was deemed to dangerous that was cut out, ok.. Found another one.. Again this was then cut out. Great i thought.. Ended up finding myself at the Famous Ford or river crossing as it is. Bit of a difference here compared to just 2 miles after this where cars went off on ice.

Time for some piccies...

the water pictures are very impressive and #7 even more so cause of the light or lack of.
i like #5 but shame about the cars and sign in the back round,would of been a good advert pic if it was just the car and rally gb banner.

Great shots Jon. Love the watersplash ones.
Also, thanks for the info. Sweet Lamb was quite 'Mickey Mouse' but we had a good (wet) day.

Love all your shots jon. Chris Atkinson suffered a broken leg in the accident but co-driver was ok.

Cheers

Phil.
