Thank-you to Juliet and Andy for organising a great weekend and to everybody who took part for making it special.

It was with some pride that I watched fellow club members and X1/9 owners battle through a torrential downpour, biblical floods, thunder and lightning. And some guilt as I was doing it from the safety of a modern VW!

Thanks to you, Jim for shadowing me to Ulverston when Rosie decided to play up.

A great weekend, thanks to everyone who came along. I really enjoyed it. Despite the worlds longest ever thunderstorm on the Sunday, we had really great weather and the scenery was outstanding!
A few pics below from the weekend. There will be a full report in the next magazine!
