Soapbox Derby Photos

What a great day the sun was shining the track got cleared eventually and the racing got on the way with added danger it had snowed and it was agreed that spectators could throw snowballs at the racers. This announcement was heard in the bar on one marshalls radio and the response for the bar was a loud yes the bar then emptied.

The rules pay attention to the last one you have been warned.

Wombles getting ready to race.

Yoda of to test the track.
The wombles are off.

Arrived at the thistle

Hurrarh arrived at the Tinto hotel nr Biggar covered just under 300 miles. The usual warm welcome was waiting for us a nip of whisky was good to help get warmed up. Camp set up and in the bar for 5pm all set for the evening.

The Journey To The Thistle.

Started out in Stoke met up with Andy and Graig joined up with Fish at the Fish manor. Had a quick 60 mile blast to squires cafe at Sherburn where everyone tucked in to a healthy fried breakfast.Another 100 miles then a quick coffee and fuel stop leaving 80 mile left to do.

Don't forget your thermals

Packing for the thistle rally high on the list is the thermal base layers.
The list
Tent,sleeping bag,single airbed,brew kit,hot water bottles,hip flasks (with something nice in to aid keeping warm medicinal of coarse) that's most of the essentials covered.

Not forgetting the essential lenor bottle saves getting out the tent when the 3am bladder alarm goes off.
