Dolly's on the Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run

#1 Post by Cook1e »

Lots of Dolomites, a Toledo and a 1300FWD took part in the RBRR this year. A good show from the Dolomite fraternity.
Here's my blog of our trip in the "Flying Log" my 1500HL....

Excellent write up, looked like you had a great time & the log behaved itself, most of the time.

Loved the photo of the Gt6, sheep & the stag

Well done, you must have been absolutely knackered at the end.

I really quite fancy giving this a go in 2 years time.

:D Enjoyed your write up.
Didn't make it to John O'Groats this time as I was working (nightshift).
Some of the cars I recognise, I think every time I've been to JoG for a RBRR I have seen Nigel Gair's 2000.


Staff late at Lands End? That is shocking really, they should have been there 3 hours before the breakfasts were due to be served.
As I was taught "Fail to prepare and you prepare to fail"!




A small correction... the 33rd photo is actually in Sutherland to the West not the East of Thurso. In the 90s, when I had a Sprint, this bit of the A836 was single track,
I have drove along there scores of times in that car, the exhaust used to bottom out on the bridge at Baligal :shock: creating sparks visible in the dark.
There did used to be a roadsign just west of Thurso the warning of S-bends for 56 miles!
It is just not the same now it has been improved :) .



If I may be so bold,
I suggest that an article for Dolly Mixture is in order........
