Rest and Be Thankful

Visit September 2008

The past and the present

	218401.J.V. An old Valentine's postcard showing the the final part of Cobblers corner and the final hairpin.
	2248 13:26 Not quite the same view as the postcard, which I purchased after the visit. September 2008. The first part of the road is the exit of Stonebridge corner. Followed by a right, left, a little blast into Cobbers Corner, and then the final hairpin.

2008 photographs

The following photos are from a trip to Scotland in September 2008. Traditional Scottish weather.
As it is a hillclimb, the start is at the bottom of the page and the end at the top (this has nothing to do with the fact that we started at the top and walked down).

	2260 13:37 Past the finish line, the marker that reminded the Scottish soldiers to Rest and be Thankful.
	2319 14:23 The final blast for the line.
	2272 13:45 The hairpin from outside the entry. There is more run off than you'd expect.
	2269 13:42 The hairpin from above.
	2312 14:22 Up the penultimate hill to the hairpin.
	2311 14:21
	2310 14:21 Walking back up
	2278 13:49
	2264 13:39 Coblers corner from above. There is a hint of a rise.
	2280 13:53 The middle of Coblers corner.
	2281 13:53
	2282 13:53 Into Coblers corner.
	2283 13:54 The blast into Coblers, which seems to have a little rise.
	2290 13:59 Coming out of Stonebridge, showing the same as 2248, but lower down. The blast to Coblers appears to be behind the slight rise, but the climb up to the hairpin is evident.
	2285 13:56 The left/ight between Stonebridge and Coblers?
	2287 13:57 Run to Stonebridge.
	2288 13:58 Bear right before Stonebridge. Have a look at Bodysnatcher's gallery on 10-10ths, during the 1982 Scottish Rally the railing was complete, although still rusty!
	2268 13:41
	2266 13:39 A look down towards the start.
	2289 13:59 Stonebridge Corner.
	2273 13:45
	2291 14:00
	2293 14:01 Looking further down the hill from past the start?
	2294 14:01 The straight?
	2296 14:03
	2299 14:05
	2300 14:07
	2302 14:08
	2245 13:25 From the A83 looking down beyond (before) the start.
