Gaz - I totally agree. I wasn't too far behind you and when I got there the situation was going downhill fast.

To be fair to the organisers they did say the primary reason for the troubles was the tent wasn't big enough, for which they took full responsibility. IMHO the other "reasons" just exaggerated the situation.

Can't believe you were still taking pics in the rain!

Love your pic of NSC and FlowerPower, did you cross the start with them? You were seconds apart on my tracker.
