Re: Syncropendence Thanks.
It was a truly awesome weekend. The van did us proud, again, and I am getting used to NOT BRAKING going down hill!! Apparently its ok to scream the engine!!
But we both had fun, and learned an awful lot. The punch hunt field was fantastic for us learners - steep ascents and descents, a small mud bath with convenient log on exit to test steering response, over hanging trees to park in, rocky hills to climb, and sheep to avoid. Wicked!! Then it was off to higher ground to do the "Trial"....I won!! I knocked the most posts down!!! (oh....that wasn't the point.... ) But it was great to be involved.
Huge thanks to Jenny and Clive and Jason for watching over us, leading us gently around when I guess you really wanted to let rip, and for the advice on failed ascents. We used that a few times in the punch field. Just to practise you understand!!
Jed and friends - the towing stuff was great...thanks.
Photos will come....videos can be found on FB....not sure how I add them on here.
Fortunately, the drive home was much easier.....only one long delay on the M25....Home in 6 hours. Not tooo bad.
Sadly am otherwise engaged for Devon.

Drive home was a lot quicker than getting there. A big thanks to Clive& Jenny for organising the event and also to Aidan,Simon,Patrick all the other marshals for setting up the activities.
