November has been a quiet spell for Rob, he contested the Cambrian Rally at the start of the month but since then has been relaxing and enjoying time away from the stages.

Looking forward to December he currently has three events scheduled, two of which are in the UK and the third the Manx Championship decider.   On the 6th he shall compete alongside the improving Richard Curphey on the Grizedale Stages.   The pairing shall be using Richard's home prepared 1400 Nova Sport for what will be his first and Rob's third visit to the event.   With Richard looking to contest the BTRDA 1400 series next year he is hoping to get some valuable stage mileage under his belt.

It will be a busy weekend for Rob though who will travel to Galloway straight after the event for scrutineering for Sundays Galloway Hills Rally.   For the event he will team up with fellow 2003 Ka Championship competitor Callum Bendall.   The pairing will use the Ka which Callum has used to contest the 2003 season and with cash prizes up for the first 3 Ka's they will be aiming for them.

With a break for the festive period in will then be business as usual on the Isle of Man as Rob returns alongside George Collister for the final round of the Manx Stage Rally Championship.   With him being involved in a three way fight for the co-drivers title he will be keen to have a good event.

"I have done a lot of events this year but the domestic championship has always been a high priority" Rob explained, "I have had a good year and whatever happens I will look back on what has been a great learning year."

Reports from the events and more details pre-event will appear here so check back for more....
