  1. Ian Rennie is my grandfather and I have looked into the Arbuthnot trial that he resurrected (and have asked him about him doing so). The way that it was resurrected written by Derek, according to Ian, isn't how it happened. He first found out about the original trials from a magazine (from 1928) he bought from a local auction. This aroused his interest and he began researching it, spending many weeks (over two years) speaking to land owners, getting their permission to use their land and contacted every house along the route to ask if they would object, luckily no-one did. He compiled the route card himself rather than finding one as Derek recounted. Ian also managed to get in contact with the remaining surviving entrants who came along to the first trial. If anyone has any questions regarding the Arbuthnot, Ian can be contacted at irennie1935@gmail.com
