What looked to be a reasonable day at Saunders Gorge, changed once I climbed the hill to Mt Pleasant. The rain had set in with visibility reduced to about 500 metres due to fog as well.

This was until the end of testing and then it “fined” up. Well at least the rain stopped but was still overcast.

Despite the weather, we had 2 cars testing including Neal Bates and Coral Taylor. All went off without incident. Kersbrook for testing tomorrow.

This week is Rally Week with the Sprint Auto Parts Rally SA. As usual I am doing the Deputy Clerk of Course and Chief Safety Officer gig. In order to not have to travel for hours each day during the event, I get to stay in some local accommodation.

The past few years I have been staying at the Novotel at Rowlands Flat but this year I am camped at Saunders Gorge, not far from Mt Pleasant, in the Hideaway B&B. The Hideaway is in a secluded valley amongst the majestic Gums. Very comfortable with a wood stove to keep warm at night. And believe it or not 3G coverage.

Off to testing with Neil Bates and Coral Taylor today at Cromer
