 Special Stage 35 climbs up from the North Canterbury Plains onto the Lowry Pigs Range. The southern Alps in the distance continue to follow the rally as it moves further north back to Blenheim. The view from here is breathtaking, but then some is the way some of these guys attack the hairpin. We walked the side of the road down a bank through all the rocks and the bushes and were able luckily to regain the road at the bottom end of the hill. Talking with a rally car is you can't drive it at half speed. You know, they're paying attention and getting on with it. Or the car's not comfortable and then you're at risk then. So you push on really and I suppose you might, if you saw something really horrible, you might just slow for a few yards, but otherwise you've got to press on. So what's your plan now for the rest of the rally? Settle the damn thing down and behave. While Francis Tuttle is licking his wounds, the rally continues through some of the wealthiest farming country in North Canterbury.
