Whitby Pre Season Rally March 2005
First rally of the season
Well, where to begin. The weather was bitter even in Selby, by the time we hit the moors it had turned into a full on white out blizzard with a treacherous side wind that whipped the scoots about even at 20 in 3rd. 5 minutes after we left Pickering the police closed the road to any further traffic and we were the last 4 vehicles to come off the moors.
