Scally Rally

Last updated: 13 October 2006

In September 2006, Wyn and Alison Jones from New Cross, near Aberystwyth and John and Elin Rees from Ponterwyd took part in the gruelling four-day 'Scally Rally' between Calais and Madrid. The 1,600 mile odyssey by 100 teams in cars costing less than £100 was captured on camera by Wyn, who took his G-Reg Volvo. Click through the slideshow to see how the Mid Wales 'Taffs on Tour' team got on:

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  Wyn:"The first day was a 450 mile run from Calais to Geneva. The rally cars are here going through tolls to get on the motorway. But we were lucky to start at all because our car's fan belt broke at Temple Bar, near Lampter."
