    For those that haven't been to the site before ... here is the site entrance off Fisher Lane.

    Caution ... it includes almost a km of gravel to get to the rally gate.

    Been there ... done that. A few familiar faces ... a few new one's met.

    "Riverview Terrace" was the place to be (apparently) ... a few of the locals seemed familiar though ...

    Nice to see you there O. - a shame somebody in your tent had to use a chain-saw sometimes during the night!

    KB numbers were lacking this year, luckily far queue was there to fly the flag for the Canterbury Rabble (Rubble!).
