Stats and Rides

The statistics for the 2007 Round Britain Rally were 76 landmarks, 1540 points and approximately 5100 miles. Unfortunately I had to abort my Scotland trip owing to a minor incident with a Landrover Discovery on the way to Killin. No injuries to me but a bent front subframe on the bike meant I couldn't steer. It also meant that we didn't do all of the Scottish landmarks so no all rounder this year. A 11 hour recovery to Dorset by the local Renault garage!
