Yep, had my permission slip from her indoors today so I'll be there. Best entry I've seen at Epynt for some time!

Looking forward to this one, unlikely to get there until about the 3rd stage but that should still see 4 good runs of a top entry list. I remember a time when you would ocassionally see one or two Darriens at a tarmac event, think I counted 9 for this one!You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Weather is looking dry, and may even be warm. Dose not sound much like Epynt to me lol.
Getting excited now, not been up the ranges for 2 years

Just seen this on FB through RallyMad Photography...
important announcement for regarding motorsport....
port talbot motor club have been advised that there is NO camping on epynt ranges for this sundays TOUR OF EPYNT RALLY......anyone found on there camping etc by MOD police will be removed immediatly and the events on MOD land are in enough jeopardy at the moment
guys, i can tell you that the future of motorsport on M.O.D land is hanging by a th...read...... talbenny has gone, pendine has gone, caerwent is going after next event..... and soon it may well be epynt....i know most of you are marshals or competitors but if we lose epynt also then rallying is going to be bleak... its hard enuff now to get events sorted out etc without losing epynt.
...
i have been speaking to ALAN STONEMAN who asks please, do not camp up there or go onto the ranges until you have been instucted to with regards to singning on of officals/marshals/competitors etc....if anyone wants further info, feel free to contact alan....
please pass this on to all you know within motorsport, even at a spetating level

Well what a tour of Epynt, sunburnt neck, and nose in MArch.
Walked miles today, watched from Dixies, bottom of Steps, start of stage 5,
halfway between, Picadilly and Burma road, then over to Bartons jump, Pattersons Devils leap, however the hell you know it.
Must say a great battle between Melvyn Damion Peter and Steve. But Melvyn Evans was in a diffrent league.
Arrived 5 mis after Chris Jones had stuck the Focus Sti on its roof. Crew very lucky. Car slid off road upside down, took a ditch and a big mound right in the driverside windsreen, whilest being upside down. Folded the roof and screen down towards drivers head. There was not much room in there on Chris's side. Lucky the roll cage up the A piller and over the door stood up to the impact. Or it would of been nasty.
A cracking day out, and of course your normal chav spectators stood anywhere that was dangerous.
One of the best days rallying ive had in a long time. Video to follow

Sorry i feel i offended you.
But why would you not take the comment seriously, unless your one of the ***** thats wants to cause trouble for rallying, in such places as Epynt.
I will say no more. Other than i enjoyed my day up there Sunday.

This is not so important. This stage is only not to make a mistake and not to destroy the tyres. We will see tomorrow on proper stages.
