The good news is that today’s weather
forecast is accurate. The bad news is, that it’s wetter than an otter’s pocket
here in Castle Douglas. On that basis, it is to be hoped that tomorrow’s forecast
is going to be just as accurate. At the moment it is wet, gey dreich, very wet,
dismal, and even more wetter! It’s also grey and overcast. Get the picture?
Tomorrow’s outlook is for the rain clearing overnight
leaving us with gloriously dry and typically sunny Scottish summer weather. We
live in hope.
At the VIP/Test day earlier today, there were groups of
drookit, bedraggled spectators and interested parties gathered under the
dripping trees and they were treated to a star quality turn-out of testers
including the two main protagonists, Garry Pearson and Jock Armstrong. Just
making sure that everything was hunky dory before the big title fecht tomorrow.
Also in attendance were their rivals intent on spoiling someone else’s party if
it benefitted their own hopes and aspirations, including Mike Faulkner and John
MacCrone.
No times were taken of course, this being just a mechanical
shakedown ahead of this final round of the ARR Craib Scottish Rally
Championship. The only certainty is that the Armstrong Galloway Hills will
determine who wins the national title, but the big uncertainty is who will win
the rally!
By the way, did I mention it was raining?
