John Paternoster’s 1929 Morris Minor Tourer (SV 9091) drives carefully past a brace of horses just a few miles west of Saturday’s ‘Big Skies Rally’ lunch stop at Whatfield. This was to be the first of a series of identical encounters for the riders and their steeds as they continued along the narrow lane only to be confronted by a steady stream of rallyists, all following the same pre-planned route.
