--- Quote from: "muddyweb" ---Well done to all... every time I saw you Ash you seemed to be going somewhere... I trust you got a good night's sleep on Sunday ;-)
James and Gary were looking a bit frazzled but still cheery on Sunday night.. as you say, it makes it all worthwhile when you count up the pennies at the end.

Sleeped like a baby (bottle of wine and a Thai probably helped! Let Gary and Co. at Abingdon and they were just hitting the beers at around 6pm. It looked that by the rate the Guinness was going they were going to have one hell of an evening ahead!!!!! :P :P :P

--- Quote from: "landyman1978" ---After packing up Sunday we got a rough count of making just over £7000 for charity which makes all the hard work well worthwhile.
Fantastic effort by all. Well Done!
Count me in for next year, if I'm not working :(

I'm glad those that went enjoyed it. It was bloomin' hard work as usual but I was really pleased with the course this year, despite having to accommodate a runway emergency area right in the middle!
A huge thanks to Ash for co-ordinating the marshalls. I know only too well that it's a task akin to herding cats, especially on Sunday afternoon when everybody wants to pack up :roll:
To all you guys who've volunteered to help out next year, I'm sure Ash has already got your names on a list :twisted:
A few personal highlights:
Most interesting vehicle: a Ferret Scout car - a pig to drive but incredible to watch.
Funniest moment: when the driver of a BMW X5 decided that discretion was the better part of valour after having to be pulled backwards off the same (small) hill twice :twisted:
Most worrying moment (1): when I received a call about a Suzuki that had apparently turned over. Turned out it was just leaning against a bank and was righted by a marshall standing on one of the wheels (phew!).
Most worrying moment (2): when it started to hammer down with rain on Sunday afternoon. Course organisation becomes barely managed chaos when it rains as the recovery teams struggle to keep up with the influx of calls and temporary bypasses are hastily introduced when previously inocuous hills become suddenly impossible. Ho hum :)
Secret smile moment: the two Series I Land Rovers and the Willys Jeep that went everywhere that the 'big tyre brigade' did, but usually without any of the drama :lol:
