The White Horse Rally 2007

The White Horse Rally
Tattingstone

March 2007

It doesn't seem like a year since we visited the Tattingstone White Horse but it really is twelve months or more. We had been looking forward to this weekend for a while and even though February had been a very wet month, the field was not even slightly muddy. On arrival the sun was shining and the first signs of spring were in the air.

It was not too long before we had old friends waving and saying "hello!" across the field. It took me a while to set up the van as we had not been out for a while and we had winterised the unit. This meant that some of the kit was packed differently and so my little brain had to think a bit.

We soon sampled a beer or two and were not disappointed. Sue was tempted to have a Guiness with a little blackcurrant in the top... slurp !   We decided to have a light supper...  it would have been a missed opportunity !  So gammon and chips for me and the vegetarian option for Sue. Very nice too, the perfect example of pub food with all the atmosphere of a good old Suffolk "watering hole". Colin was in his element and couldn't believe his luck. He had not attended this rally before and appreciated the reasons why we had returned for a second visit. It was fun to see him looking around at the beams, floorboards and the inviting wood burning stove.


Saturday was all about walking and wrapping up warm. The wind had a bite to it and I was glad of my gloves to keep may hands warm. I had completely forgotten the size and scale of Alton Water. It is huge !  The water was flat and calm but it had a shimmer that reflected the early spring budded trees and wow...  now I know why we rally locally, our Suffolk countryside is just wonderful.

At 7pm we went over to have dinner and our orders were placed. There was 40 or more meals to prepare and the team in the kitchen offered a huge, diverse menu. This meant that it took a while to deliver meals to some of the tables. The food was well worth the wait and there was still time for desert and coffees too.


Flagpole on Sunday was followed by a nice cup of warm chocolate in the Pub and then it was time to start packing up. Colin has been talking to the Landlord and "watch this space" there may be a special rally in store for 2008.

Many thanks to Andy, Caroline and their hard working staff for making us so welcome. We hope that you will have us back again next year. Thanks also to Ron, Sheila, John and Christine for organising this excellent weekend.
