grizedale stages

dentonian25 · 4th of November 2008 (Tue)

i know its early but does anyone fancy meeting up at the grizedale stages rally on the 29 november 2008 i will definately be there but i would suggest taking waterproofs as last year was really wet

There's usually a good POTN contingent on the Grizedale Stages although where we will be is yet to be decided.

Yep, I'm another one who will be making the trip across to Cumbria at the end of the month. I haven't missed a Grizedale Forest Rally for the last 4 or 5 years, as it's generally one of the best organised and ran events of the year. I'll be having a good look at the maps over the next week or so to work out where I want to be for the couple of stages I'll get to see across the day.

The problem last year wasn't the rain so much, but the snow - particularly on the A66 driving home LOL

i didnt mind the snow but this time i will take waterproofs and i think car park a is probably closest to the action last year i parked in car park b and had a really long walk i actually walked to car park A and got some really good views

well its only a fortnight away looks like there arnt going to be to many photographers at this one is the credit crunch hitting that hard

Simon Harrison · 14th of November 2008 (Fri)

That assumes that the event even goes ahead - they need a minimum of 90 cars to run the event, and they are a little way off that.......

The event website has confirmed it's going ahead

It could hardly be worse

Image removed by me.

Might as well drag out my favourite Grizedale pic....not much walking involved to find this spot either but you won't see the lake if it's like last year

Unfortunately not a picture you'll be able to get this year (at least not with the car coming towards you), as they are running the stage in the opposite direction this time.

Shame, because it is a cracker!

this was taken early afternoon in the snow

I'd like to remind everyone that this area of the forum is for motorsport discussion, not for photo sharing. Including a single photo or maybe two to illustrate a particular technical point is fine but this isn't the place for general photo sharing.

Fair enough Glenn.

However i note that those involved with "the book" are once again posting in the Motorsport share section and asking for submissions.

Cadwell · 19th of November 2008 (Wed)

Indeed

It would be unfortunate if people missed out on their opportunity to submit a photo to the book due to not knowing the deadlines.

Or perhaps most of us just don't care about it ?
