It's one of the most laid back and enjoyable rallies we do, very little hi viz and nobody ever on our back, given our own section of field and our own ring to do what we want with when we want, whether that be divising our own games to play, timed three point turns for example, or putting on displays for the public such as winching. It's definitely a rally where there's always something to see happening.
In my opinion they have some of the fairest and most generous methods of contributing to transport costs around, it's just a shame it doesn't attract more engines due to a lot wanting to get to Dorset so early. Having said that there are still a few engines for which it is only the first or second event they've attended this year, so although not perhaps new out, there's still always something different to see.

Hello George, thank you for your comments which were of a polite nature not like some other members who should know better.
I have only been to one rally at Honiton Hill so far and that was in 2013 when I did see some new engines and I agree it is a laid back rally.
Due to a change in circumstances this year I have not yet been able to attend a single rally, due to ill health I find it difficult both in getting to rallies and in getting around them and from past experience I know that parts of the rally field at Honiton Hill are quite rough owing to them appearing to be used for farming. I now have to be careful where I go for obvious reasons and this year I have been largely housebound. However, I am determined to get out this weekend and try and attend Honiton Hill. It was only out of curiosity that I was interested to hear what was new at the rally, unfortunately, there are those who should know better and they only come out with stupid comments.
I understand that being so close to the dates of GDSF that it can be difficult getting engines to attend. However, am I right in saying that some owners go to Honiton Hill on their way to GDSF?
Regards,
Tom.
