Webreality Gallery Rally Updates

Day 3 & 4

2009-07-02T12:08:00.002+01:00

Days 3 and 4 of the rally took us down through central France to Carcassonne where we stayed the 3rd night, still in position 17. The 4th day saw us heading up into the Pyrenees and into Spain determined to climb the rankings.

Temperatures soared into the high 30's throughout the day and the final stage had to be cancelled. The roads were awesome, twisty, windy mountain passes with nothing but a crash barrier separating us from 1500 feet of sheer drop.

We got into Barcelona around 5.30pm and spent the evening relaxing by the pool before the final get together and announcement of results - we improved our positioning to 16/23 on the final day.

I can highly recommend this to anyone who loves driving and beautiful scenery, see you next year maybe?

Day 2 complete

2009-06-27T18:16:00.002+01:00

What a day, 5 stages completed and at this moment in time we are fairly confident we will have improved on our 17/25 position from yesterday.

Today the drive too us from Blois via a Chateau, Vintage Car Museum, Childrens Playgound and Village Market.

The 5 stages covered around 230 miles (if you don't get lost) and took in some of the most breathtaking scenery and chalenging driving roads so far.

We are now at our hotel in Clermont Ferrand and looking forward to a restful and somewhat merry evening.

Tune in tomorrow and remember to follow our Twitter www.twitter.com/wearewebreality and videos at www.doodacky.com
