The LeJog (Lands End to John O'Groats) Rally is back in our region this year and we shall be running the stage (actually it's called a test) at Park Hall, just off the M6 at Charnock Richard, on the morning of 7th December 2008. This well known & highly respected endurance rally for classic cars starts on 6th December at Lands End (yes, really ) and finishes on 9th December at John O'Groats (which despite popular belief, is not actually the northern most point on the British mainland). LMC will be running the whole test at Park Hall, with the first car due at 09:54, so a late morning finish is on the cards. More details will be advised as soon as received. This is one of the UK's best Classic Endurance Rallies and, just like the Rally of the Tests, has a superb range of classic cars taking part. More background info at www.hero.org.uk/artman2/publish/lejog08/2008_LEJOG.shtmlWant to give us a hand at this non-spectator venue? Give Jim Bebby a call on 0151 523 0428 No previous marshalling experience necessary - it's a fun day out!

We must be gluttons for punishment! The test was similar to an AutoSolo though the cars visited just once on their way north. It was certainly cold and the ladies in the 1920’s open Bentley were incredibly brave. Mind you, they claimed that having no windows saved much ice scraping as they left the overnight halt. Stockport MC helped by running the clocks for us at the start, and Knutsford MC likewise at the finish. Having packed everything away again before lunch, it was a really pleasant civilised way to spend a Sunday morning.
Good company, good motorsport (albeit not many cars competing) and good weather. Excellent, I love these classic rallies!
