Jock bags fifth ‘Hills’ win after helmet scare

Event sponsor Jock Armstrong celebrated his fifth Galloway Hills Rally win on Sunday but had to borrow a helmet from another driver to make it to the finish line.

Armstrong and co-driver Kirsty Riddick held a comfortable lead over Aberdeen’s Dave Weston Jnr as they drove to the final stage in Cairn Edward forest.

Before they went into the stage, the Castle Douglas duo decided to clean out the boot of their Subaru Impreza, which was full of water, with the help of their support crew.
