Scottish Perthshire Hill Rally 2010
« on: May 04, 2010, 03:24:46 PM »
The SRs for the 2010 Scottish Perthshire Hill Rally, being held on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th July, have been published. The event is a blend of new stages and old favourites with a twist, consisting of some 90 miles of off-road driving linked by road sections that traverse some of the most scenic parts of Scotland.  It ranges between Aberfeldy in the north, to Cambusbarron in the south, with rally HQ, service and camping  located just west of Perth at Dalreoch, near Dunning.

The usual format of starting around noon on Friday is maintained, heading west and south for six off-road stages in Fanny Hill and Cambusbarron, followed by twelve stages on Saturday  heading as far north as Aberfeldy (with four stages in between) and west to Burnt Hill then back to HQ for prizegiving.  The event is contained within 1:50,000 OS sheets 52, 57 and  58.

As usual, no event can run without the help, enthusiasm and assistance of many volunteers.  We are looking for a substantial number of marshals and radio marshals; if you would like to be part of this great event or would like to find out more, please contact Stuart Fleming (chiefmarshal@scottish-hillrally.co.uk) with general marshalling enquiries, or Diana Baines (d.baines@dsl.pipex.com)  with radio-related enquiries.

And please don?t let the ?hill rally? part of the title put you off volunteering; you don?t always need a 4x4: there are always a significant number of positions that can safely be accessed by a road car.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

We've marshalled at this a couple of times when it used to be on the same weekend as T in the Park and the British GP. Anyone with a spare couple of days, I'd recommend marshalling.
Unfortunately this year it coincides with, (allegedly), the biggest Land Rover show on the planet at Billing Aquadrome.

Indeed it does.... however it DOESN'T clash with the Manx International Rally, or the (new this year, and we moved to give is space) Argyle Rally.

..... but yes, the 'Perthshire does indeed clash with the once majestic Land Rover Show
