Photographic Quiz:-
number 201
Still on a car theme ......
so who does this car belong to? What is the deal?? And who's fault is it???
Could it be one of these blokes??
Perhaps the one on the left???
Could he be from Notts AC????
Dear Blog,
Sutton Park for Road Relay Races which means road traffic chaos. Bad to get into the Park to dump the car (see above) and for most, tents had to be man handled all the way from where the car was parked to the pitching area. The marshals, with one exception, are far from helpful in that they seem to have no methodical approach as to how to park so many cars. As for leaving, they seem to have done their stint by early afternoon and I think they think that they must have thought it would be a great giggle to let the punters sort out their own method of leaving the park. Last year they just packed up and went, leaving behind a total traffic deadlock. Mick Robinson from Notts AC took matters into his own hands and rather than wait for the traffic to sort itself out, he drove his van up the road, through the start / finish area and then continued to drive along the paths we had been running on less than an hour before. Half a dozen of us saw what he was doing and fell in behind!!! At the top of the hill the barriers were still in place blocking further progress along the roadway. Un deterred, Mick takes a left off the road on to the rough ground, up and down a small ditch then down the rough slope to the far gate. The posh Jaguar car in the convoy line front of me was none too happy about his cross country exploits - the way the driver drove over the deep undulations can have done his car no good at all.
There seemed more teams than usual and the atmosphere was also much improved. Many athletes jogging around the course and encouragingly, lots of youngsters.
Take care Blog,
Colin
