Supposedly a lie in but we were on the road at 8.31. A nice day but not sunny. At least not raining. The amazing news is that we are 17th! We can't believe it and hardly dare breathe the words. We worked hard to get there though, but will we keep our place today? Big question especially as the only time trial was the Circuit de Bresse. We went round twice but also had to stop astride a line 3 times. All very difficult in such an unsporty car. What a pity to have such an exciting opportunity but to have to do it in such an unwieldy vehicle! Rachel's taste for the sport has suddenly been discovered. Had to drive by Beaune which was disappointing but we had another wine tasting nearby and drove on in the correct direction, unlike some. We raced on through lovely French countryside and were in time for the MTC with 5 mins to spare. Phew. Last supper as rally gang tonight, albeit in 2 shifts, and Paris tomorrow! Yay!
Hey , well done to you both. Can't wait to hear about all your adventures when you get back. Have fun in ~Paris. Lots of love Alistair, Tammy and Hamish.
ReplyDeleteLadies,
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration. I learned of the P to P rally in the Plymouth Bulletin with the mention of your upcoming adventure. That started me on the road to monitoring all the blogs. What a treat. Many more happy days to you both. I look forward to your successful drive to the finish tomorrow!

Ladies you are a credit to the real world of tough rallying, for doing so well in such an unforgiving old lady. I speak for all those who have followed your progress throughout the tough journey and that is to say let Paris be your finest hour,for you two ladies it is so well deserved. See you tomorrow in Paris.
