Just got back from a brilliant rally held at the Riverside caravan park in Southport. Weather was fantastic and they had a great turn out.

 

Here are some of my pictures.

yes, was a brill day, weather hot, good selection of vehicles, got good potential!!!!, Was a bit miffed that I had to park with the rest of the Landys, hopefully next year they will include a Military section.

 

My photos will be uploaded to my site soon!!!!

 

Didnt take to long to get there either, left Stoke at 0700. arrived on site 0905. pity there was no signs to the site from Ormskirk direction though!!

 

Anyway, enjoyed myself, so did my girlfriend and her son, both Steam Rally Virgins!!!!!!

 

Did the morris commercial and the matador sell in the auction?

 

All the best

 

Mark :cool:

I agree with the military section thing, the field at the back would of been Ideal.

 

I was talking to an organiser and they recon they'll be having another later this year! :)

 

The Matador didn't sell, reserve was at 3k and bidding went to £2700. I don't know about the little Morris.

We went on Saturday, fantastic weather then a well, made for a great show.

Can't believe anyone struggled to find it. There were masses of large direction boards coming from Chorley. They must have spent a fortune and a lot of time posting them up.

Anyway here's a few more photo's

like I said, no signs at all from direction of Ormskirk, first sign I saw was when I was coming out of Southport on the Preston Rd.

 

Didnt detract from a good show though
