Steve Harris reports on a hectic weekend of rallying 
Not too much to report really. Brendan and I had a good day on the Grizedale Stages which netted 3rd overall. They really are cracking stages those. 

The next day we did the Galloway Hills rally but I'm not sure where we were on the first stage. Then on the second stage we broke the rear diff mounting on the start line. Finished the stage but tried to drive a bit cautiously and then had a look at what the problem was on the next road section. 

Stage 3 was just down the road without any service vehicles, so we decided to go home on the grounds of safety as it was wearing a hole through the petrol tank.  At least we  found some speed and will look forward to next year, just picking the odd event we like.
