Since I've managed to miss the local events this year, I'll redouble my efforts to be there.

Maybe seeing all of the people standing on the side of the road waving and clapping when we was driving from the stages in Germany has gone to my head

Well, I managed to miss this one as well - thanks mainly to a bit of a headache, which I suspect was self-inflicted from the night before.

I have marshalled at the Dukeries & Robin hood at Clipstone

It gets better at each event. But safety keeps getting better or worse depending which way you look at it. Well worth a trip into the woods though. I'll PM you next time LJP post a meet. Should be the Robin Hood Rally in the spring.

Ta very muchly I did notice the profussion of tapes etc.

The pinnacle of my marshalling career was in Nottingham on the 1985 RAC (with the Group B & RS200s ) when I did the Parc Ferme, Press Day in Blidworth and Scrutineering including the main press and competitor caravans. I had to deal with Stig Blomqvist, Juha Kankunnen, Ari Vatanen and the much missed Henri Toivonen I couldn't really top that to be honest

Too right..... shame the WRC is stuck in the Welsh forests...... the old RAC was great! I suppose there is too much traffic on the roads that would mess up the running between stages?
