Default Robin Hood Rally 2007 & Sunday Meet

Sunday 11th March

We had such a good time last year at the Premier Rally. More of the same is in order I think? Stage times will be on the offical Rally website nearer the event.

Robin Hood Forest Stages

This are the destinations we are meeting at.

Google Maps
Please note that the Theives Wood car park is off Coxmoor Rd.

1) 10.00 McDs @ Newark
2) 10.50 Theives Wood, Ravenshead (Rally Stage)
3) 12.30 Wonderland, Farnsfield (Service)
4) 14.00 Ma Hubbards, Edwinstowe (Lunch subject to food being served)
5) 16.00 Sherwood Pines, Clipstone (Rally Stage)


The route shown will not be the route i will drive, Im planning a twistier route!

We are on stand-by to enter the team rally car this year. But even if we are not in it this year would love to meet up as the scooby loves the mud. Jason....

The b*****ds! Let me guess H&S gone mad again??????

Last year was great at night. I know the area very well so I know I will be going to find a spot. But dont think it wise if I publicly advertise where. Any interested parties should PM me with their email and I'll do it that way.

Hmm, do I...
a) watch Tidgy throw himself off a tower with only a piece of knicker elastic separating him from life or a rather gruesome end
b) watch a number of cars go hurtling past at breakneck speed with only a piece of plastic tape separating me from life or a rather gruesome end

Think it's going to be b)

Had a look on the Robin Hood site and from what I can gather you can’t watch the night time stages that would be a shame.
But if that is right I will have to make sure I am up nice and early to watch all the ones on Sunday ,not far for me to come only live 2 miles down the road lol

In previous years when they have restricted access, they close the car park at Sherwood Pines. Your best bet would be to park at the Dog & Duck pub in Kings Clipstone and walk. Your right they cant stop you getting in the woods at night, but you might get some hassle from the cops if they are on the main entrance. If you get some good pics, post them on here

This meet isnt going 100% to plan. But who cares? We are still meeting at McD's (Roman Way pub) at Newark at 10am Sunday morning.

Andy has told me I cant put you all to shame in the Fiesta , so hes kindly offered to pick me up on the way. That means a little diversion along the way to collect me...... oh and my Dad, but thats another story. The route will be interesting if people want it to be, or stick the the trunk roads. We will play it by ear on the day.

PS when you all come blasting down my street..... its a dead end with no turning area, so I suggest you turn around at the garages. Andy knows the way, follow him. Lol

Looking forward to it.
