I travelled to Mountsorrel in Leicestershire ti see the start of the Measham Night Rally, an event which sees over 40 classic cars, drivers and navigators travelling around the countryside using the tried and tested map and compass method of old, no sat-navs here !.
At the Stonehurst Farm and Motor Museum we start at the sign in and with the sound of engines revving and being prepped for the night ahead.
Over to another farm building and a team of scrutineers check each vehicle for road worthiness and safety checking lights, steering and engine condition etc.
Back in the farmyard there`s time to catch a bite to eat at the Farmers Den and consult the route maps before they are off into the dark of the night and surrounding countryside for the ultimate all righter, many tell me they wont be back till 5am on Sunday morning !.
