What memories John - excellent collection of photos - if I had seen these before this years race I would have had second thoughts - but then again perhaps not - a wonderful achievement that can never be taken away.

Brilliant collection of pictures - and memories - have signed my bacon away to partake of the 2001 jolly - so am delighted to find all these tasters of the terror to come. Any advice (apart from DON'T!) aleigh50@hotmail.com Thanks!
