Minehoff MCC - Scotland
On the way back from the
Trachop Rally in Germany we headed to the Minehoff MCC Rally in Haddington,
East Lothian. We got of the boat at 6.30 am in the morning, absolutely
knackered and 463 miles later we arrived at the rally field. On the way
up poor Snig got a flat back tyre on the Harley and it was a costly night for
him. The rally field was packed for the Friday night and they had a 500
limit on the gate most of who already seemed to be there. Daryl
Trixxxter had come over to meet us with a few of his friends as well and we
were to meet with the Quay Vipers but they didn't arrived until well after 11
when they did a tour of the rally field and then were ushered to a camping
space. Tents up everyone had a few drinks, I was really tired after the
long ride and headed to the tent early on the Friday, only to be woken by
Susie Viper round 5ish in the morning with her jeans in shreds thanks to vodka
and barbed wire! On the Saturday morning we headed for brekkie in
Haddington and then to the local swimming pool for a shower, then into Tesco
for a carry-out and back to the rally. They announced their trophies
early on the Saturday evening and I was pleased to win Longest Distance Female
and it was an extremely nice trophy. Headed off on the Sunday morning
round 10ish to catch the 3 o'clock ferry but we managed to get split up on the
roads and only William and I got there on time, Philip got the next one and
Snig the one after 8. All in it was a good 16 days away, altho tiring
and I was pleased to see the sign for Eglinton. but thankfully everyone
had a safe trip!
