Hi All, A little while ago, the suggestion was made that it might be entertaining if I reposted the story of when my amazing partner Jan and I competed in the stupidly long Alcan 5000 rally (Seattle to Anchorage) with our stupidly old 1961 TR4. Well, it's been almost 10 years since we went on that road trip (August 2014) so perhaps it's appropriate. At the time we posted our daily "blog" on Facebook which we later compiled into an article that appeared in a number of magazines including our very own TRAction. I've decided that, following some "establishing" posts, I shall post them here as separate posts. They won't appear every day like in the original - I'm afraid that my busy job won't allow that - but I will try to add them regularly and in sequence so that you get a feel for the experience. And anyway, posting the whole thing at once wouldn't leave any room for suspense, would it? I won't say too much about our respective approach to the reporting but I think you'll get a good feel for our character differences as it goes along. Many of you, of course, will have read this all before but I'm hoping that it is interesting enough to bear repeating almost 10 years later. For some it may the first time you've seen this. Either way, I hope you'll indulge me. I'll add pictures too, of course. Almost 5,000 miles to the Serious North in only 9 days in a 1961 TR4? Sure. Great idea... Stay tuned for the full story. Tim

Period articles are bursting with enthusiasm and are written with gusto. And rightly so... Four years later... ■ A TR2 caught on camera in sharp focus whizzing past the Prince of Wales hotel. Notice the driving lights distinctly facing the other way. ■ [Caption reads: ] Hood up. Like many owners of sports cars, C.M. Seward keeps his hood erected in the winter, even on the observed sections of the Exeter Trial. The car is a Triumph TR2.
