We headed of to Jumps yesterday for their Scottish Farmers qualifiers. I nearly didn't go as I am not keen on driving in the wind but my Dad told me to get on with it "it's only a bit blustery" Anyway the weather was actually not to bad, it's quite a sheltered route to there for me. The same could not be said for the venue - exposed = V V V V V windy!! And then the rain came - fortunately we were inside by then, only got drowned running for the trailer at the end. I had put his rug n stuff on in the warm up area. I had put him in the double for yesterday to try and regain some "manners" and I was really pleased with him as he tried really hard, we got 67.2% for E44 and 64.1% for the M63. We now have our double qualification for the finals!!

They will be at Rowallan - I think they are going to hold them in April. Towing in a wind gives me the heebies but my Dad is a calming influence on me. He was a HGV driver most of his working life and is the voice of reason when I start flapping!!

well done!
K managed to qualify at prelim this year, so hoping Donut can lend me the lorry to make the trip down. Can't decide whether to stay in the lorry, or book in to the fab b&b across the road. Was lovely last time...
Hope we can stay and watch some of the higher levels.
