Radders

Good post Peter! I agree with everything you've said. I would also suggest: If you're going to do a RBRR for the first time, do a C2C first as a training event. Because if you don't like being awake and driving all night for one night, you certainly aint gonna enjoy doing it for two! 🙂

This was my sixth now and I thought it was a great RBRR. Glencoe is still a stunning place to be no matter what the weather and i'm still amazed that some crews miss this bit out and still go back down the A9. Still, it's their loss, so it's up to them. Liked all the other controls including Gartcosh. It's close to the motorway, easy to find and plenty of parking. Part of the RBRR is seeing places you wouldn't normally see and I'd rather go here than a motorway service area. The Sunday afternoon was a lot more relaxed with plenty of catch up time if required. Much better than 2018 when we all found ourselves heading to Northamptonshire at five in the evening! My only complaint was that certain slower drivers wouldn't move over to let the more powerful cars past. There must have about four of us in big saloons that were held up by a small chassis Triumph on Saturday morning that would just not move over. In the end we all stopped for a coffee just so we'd have a clear road again after. As a footnote, I wont be booking the Novotel again either. 20 minutes to book in on Sunday night and no cups to get a coffee, no fresh orange juice and even running out of certain breakfast items on the Monday morning. Shambolic! A brilliant event though and well done to all of the committee, marshals' and helpers etc that made it happen. Looking forward to the next one!
