There are two tips we are now in the fortunate position of being able to pass on to any would-be rallyers. 1, try and have a car that doesn't need to be worked on until 7.30 pm the night before the start - it's just not a particularly good way of relaxing, and 2, try and avoid being too keen to buy the guys that have helped you out a beer later that evening, leading to a bottle of whisky being demolished and a 2.30 bed time, when you have to be up at 6.00am.
What a fantastic day we've had today though. Just incredible with a big send off at the Great wall and then a wonderful drive with endless cheering and waving crowds along all the roads.
Went to see the Hanging Monastry which is built on stilts into a rock face, and had a great drive all day. We've even managed to map read so far.. A long and dusty day, but staying in a nice hotel in Datong and have covered about 420 Kilometres. An early night seems to be beckoning.
