Welcome to MPPIX
Sarah and I will be missing this years Grizedale Stages Rally this weekend and also the Neil Howard Memorial Stages next week, thanks to me catching swine flu last week and subsequently getting a nice dose of bronchitis too…. So the decision to stay at home and keep warm seems more practical then spending a day out in the wet (and possibly white) Cumbrian forests…
Well the Grizedale Stages 2009 is almost here and the latest press release from the club points to the rally still running, even though parts of Cumbria are suffering some horrific weather (another four inches is predicted to fall in the highlands today/tomorrow)
The Grizedale Stages has turned into a bit of a traditional “End of Season” party for the MPPIX Team with an annual weekend in Ambleside and usually staggering out of the White Lion!!!
Obviously our thoughts are with all those affected, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on the weather and roads into the area for the next week…
Will update again soon

Wow, the weekend certainly had it’s highs and low…
Arrived at Pickering showground on Friday afternoon just in time to see Dave Hemingway in scruitineering, met up plenty of familiar faces and had a good old catch up.Went out into service and got some shots of the crews working in the dark – it’s still dry at this point (maybe the weather forecast is wrong?)

Howdy, Ben here… just writing to introduce the brand spanking new MPPIX website. The Gaffer decided he wanted us all to contribute to the blog feature of the old site and this got me thinking, firstly how lazy he is and secondly – let’s make life easy and redesign the whole site incorporating proper blog functionality so we can all do it properly. And here is the result…

Trying something a little different today, heading out with the Greensleeves Rally Team to shoot a little video for their website as part of the RAC Rally (will be shooting some stills too) Once I’ve got it sorted I’ll pop a link up!

Getting ready for the Roger Albert Clark Rally, just need to choose which of the many stages to go to, at the moment it looks like we’ve got Mark and Kevin out with cameras (as Sarah’s going out on a girlie weekend!!)

What a day, the weather forecast was wet and windy…. And this time they got it right, gale force winds and hardcore rainfall! We had to go into Pickering after SS1 to buy Sarah a new umbrella as hers inverted and died in a big way. The afternoon was a bit milder – it was possible to stand up straight and hold a brolly! Then the sun came out just as the last few cars came through!!
