Rally round

Just before our walk around the lake, as we were changing into our walking boots at the car park, a couple of noisy cars whizzed past. As we looked up, we noticed they were all stickered up and appeared like they were competing in a rally. Minutes later three more whizzed by. They were obviously having fun. Anyway, we set off on our walk.

When we returned, we changed our boots and decided to drive back around to the other side of the lake, and look for somewhere to stop for a little picnic. We found a nice quiet spot with a picnic bench at the other end of the lake, well, we thought we had. Just as we settled in to our picnic a car pulled up, and three people jumped out with long lensed cameras, chattering away to each other. I then noticed the rally cars starting to arrive on the other side of the bridge. We realised we were sitting right opposite a checkpoint.

For the next half an hour, the cars rolled in and roared off, well some of them roared and some of them spluttered.

They were a real mixture and great fun to watch. Some were definitely more up for the competition than others.
