There is a spare room going if anyone wants it as me and Steve will obviously not be using it. To say Gutted would be an understatement..Can someone tell me again why I have a Triumph?

cook1e Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sorry to hear you had to pull out. Still I guess your recovery back home was a little shorter than hours, John O'Groats to Hampshire took just over 24 Hours by AA relay, although that did include about 7 hours in a Hotel near Warrington Courtesy of the AA.Anyway, here's a couple of Team Shorts pictures from the Run....

tiggrr1 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 cook1e that 2nd pic is scary ;DYes our trip was shorter than yours, we were back in Manchester by about 2:30pm. one relay to Carlisle and one to Manchester.Looks like you had a lucky escape without too much damage :)Shame we both missed the cakes!!!
