Caravans and Campervans are not permitted on the campsite at Calgary Bay. We have been asked to draw your attention to this as action could be taken against people who break this byelaw. Since last year boulders have been put in place reducing the size of the entrance and thus restricting the vehicles that are able to get on and off the site. Please ensure that any large vehicles keep off the site too as the "Friends of Calgary Bay" are doing their best to protect this Special Site of Scientific Interest and it would be a shame for a year's hard work to be destroyed at the Rally.

Intensive preparation paid off last weekend for Penrith rally co-driver Rachel Medich when she successfully completed the notoriously difficult Tour of Mull car rally. Rachel and driver Dave Edwards took their Vauxhall Astra to 47th place from a start number of 145. The rally took place on the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland, and it used closed public roads for the 144 competitive miles of the event. Preparations for the rally started over two weeks before the start with Edwards and his service crew checking everything over on the rally car to make sure it was up to the job of surviving the tough conditions that Mull would present. Having contested the rally last year Rachel already had pacenotes for most of the course but these needed rehashed into the correct order for the 2009 event. The crew travelled to the island on the Monday before the rally and had a busy few days of making pacenotes for the new sections of the course and then driving each stage several times both in the daylight and at night where necessary to check the notes and try and remember as much of the stages as they could. |
