Hopefully there are no injuries - last time I raced there in those conditions I was racing a team mate to Worcester A&E in the early hours...... :cry:

First year in a long time I'm not riding but I did pop up to see whats going on.

Mud, mud, mud. Lap times of twice what they were last year, huge queues for showers and bike wash.

Good luck chaps!

Good to see people this weekend. Like Russell not taking part this year but supporting team of son and friends riding modern (!)

Mehanicals, driving rain etc sapped their enthusiasm to the point that we packed up and left early......never mind .......always another year!
