For once, went up a Forest track with permission. Good fun without having to check out for any Forestry guys the same time as hooning about on their tracks
Got a phone call from one of my directors wanting me to go look at a job last minute " Don't worry he said, you can take your car up the forest track "
"Bollocks I said, that track is part of the Snowman Rally each year ", plus a quick phone call to the client confirmed the state of the track at the top of the hill, about 3 miles in off the main drag.
In fact, last time I was spectating at that section, I took along our dear departed friend, the late Jim Simpson. That was last February and even back then he was struggling for breath, docs told him it was angina
Anyways at short notice, couldn't get a 4 x 4 nor could I borrow a works van as the lads are finishing early for the hols, so out with the old AT, taken out of storage and quick mot for Jim's funeral. PPE in my rucksack, camera and off we go.
This was the bend where Jim attended his last rally

Great day out, last minute, brought back a few happy memories, and got paid for it
