Motoring enthusiasts from across the country are being urged to travel by car, train, bus or whatever other form of transport they wish, to help businesses in the Western Lake District rally once again and provide the warm Cumbrian welcome for which they are renowned. The Western Lake District Tourism Partnership is encouraging rally driving fans, and those interested in other forms of motor sport, to head to the beautiful gem town of Cockermouth, to see the start and finish of the 2010 Malcolm Wilson Rally, on 6th March.
The Rally, in its 35th year, is returning to Cockermouth, which suffered so badly during the November flooding, to show solidarity with a town that has done so much to support it in the past. The Rally has also created various fund-raising initiatives, to help raise money for those affected by the floods, as a thank you for the welcome the town has always provided.
