I should have packed some factor 30 for the weekend in Blyton. Was I the only one who got a sun tan.?
Either that or I was crouched over the stove for too long trying to thaw out. :lol:

When I got back to the hotel on Saturday night my face felt a little wind blown. It was fine after a good nights sleep though.

Sunburn and frostbite all in the same weekend. Of course, we northerners are used to it.

Think about the men and women that were posted at Blyton before during and after the war, some would have had 5+ years of the wide open changeable weather, unless its global warming , :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .
Election time and my vote goes to Mr Blyton he as entertained us for the last 2 years :D :D :D :D So Pete and Mark why change, Leave it as it is. ;) ;) ;)

The two day format works well for those who are travelling a longer distance, I could enjoy the whole of Saturday without clock watching, Sunday I did what I wanted to track wise and then packed up for the trip home at a reasonable time, even if you don't do the track day both days it gives you the option of staying overnight on the Saturday to enjoy the evening entertainment and split the driving :)

Yep made it back john thanks for stopping, wasn't the head gasket anyway
Glad you got back ok, it did sound a bit on the nasty side so just as well the recovery truck option was best, did they wonder about the bin bag? Hope its back running soon.

Yep he mentioned the bin bag, just said window had been leaking in all that rain. He noticed you passing by as well rich, but I never saw you or had any idea where a race mini might of been ;)
