  Well we’ve never been to this venue before so wasn’t sure what to expect. We started stage 1 a bit tentatively and slowly, this was down to the fact it was bloody slippy. No matter what I tried we just could not get traction. So a slow start it was, dint have much choice. Loll. On to stage2 and bit faster, buy still slow and came back with a flat. Stage 3 getting cleaner out on stage so a faster this time. And another puncher. Stage 4 and 5 going ok. Apart from new set of rears. It is very hard on tyres at this place. Stage 6 is where it all went wrong, got to the split on the first lap and mark said to go left. Now I’ve always been told to do what the nav tells me, so we went left, but this turned out to be wrong and cost us a stage max. But hey we were out for fun!! Stage 7 was fun and a new set of tyres on the front this time. Stage 8 we just went out to have more fun for the photographers. All in all a good days sport. Thanks to mark we did.
