Really lovely race and support crew, highly recommend. @westmoors great way to start retirement, hope you didn't overdo it. Was it 50% ex pat Brits, NZ, Aus, SA etc?! Was when we were there lovely park and low key event.  G

Sigh wrote: Two days to go, @CumbriAndy Thanks @Sigh - yes - though, to be honest, I've not had much chance to think about it in the past couple of weeks. Too busy dealing with issues related to my elderly mother - having 'work' as one less thing piling up in front of me will be something of a relief I imagine. |
