DD_Arthur Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 It's a glorious, cloudless Saturday morning. I'm sitting in the dappled shade of my garden reading the paper, drinking coffee and smoking a crafty cigarette. My wife is pottering in her greenhouse but I can feel the thought-waves boring into the back of my head - "why aren't you mowing the lawn / tiling the roof / painting the bathroom?" etc. The 'phone rings. It's my mate Dave - a man in a similar condition to myself, lol. "Wiscombe?" he says. "Wiscombe......When?" "In an hour" "You're on!" Forty minutes later I'm grabbing camera and youngest son and we're out the door. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 When I got home I realised I'd taken enough moving pictures to knock up a little film. My apologies for forgetting to grab a tripod so things can get a bit...er..shaky! Also, I've edited it together not in a chronological order but to give some idea of the layout of the course. Therefore my little movie starts by panning around the paddock as our dog-burgers get blown off the table and then moves off up into the woods. So you'll see several shots of the same cars during different runs up the course. Does that make sense? Oh well................................ Oh yeah, my camera ran out of battery before we got up to the finish line - where I discovered my spare was flat too - doh! Quote
DD_Arthur Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 View from the cockpit when you're going for it!! and finally, found this little gem too. From 1963 - the year I was born! - to show how little its changed over the years Quote

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted May 19, 2015 1. DDz Quorum Posted May 19, 2015 Looks like a very tight course, not much room for error ! Were you tempted to say " go on, gis a go mister " ? Quote
