After a gap of two years due to Covid, the Kirkby Stephen & Brough Rally took place over the Easter weekend. Following the regular format of Free Bus Services operating between Brough, Kirkby Stephen and Kirkby Stephen Station on the Settle to Carlisle Line, the bus service was extended this year to the Fat Lamb Inn a few miles beyond the station. The Fat Lamb is owned by a classic car owner and enthusiast and is regularly used as a basis for numerous classic car rallies.
Roy Yallop sent us a selection of photos taken at the event, which are shown below.
