Safely home, without any incidents. Over 1000 miles, >30 mpg on the motorways, <20mpg on the cross moors driving... excellent stuff.
Great weekend, thanks to all for such good company and especially to Norm and Leah for making it all possible.
Note to self, I think the air heated by the front radiator comes out of the louvres, up the screen and straight into the top scoop and then the cockpit.. need to invest in an F1 style water cooled vest
"a theory should be as simple as possible, but not simpler"
Yes indeed, it was a cracking weekend, so thanks Norm, and to answer your question, of course we will come again, but preferably of course in a Stratos.
Although, I have to say in view of the hot weather there was some attraction in watching everyone else adventures from air conditioned comfort.
Following Mark out of Rothbury though definitely brought in a few pangs of jealousy when he dissappeared into the distance so quickly!
Great stuff, thanks to everyone for making it so enjoyable and interesting.
Some more photos, the line up. (It was not a 'Le Mans' start, it was very sedate)
And one of Britain's premier castles, Bamborough, it is enormous, and yes the sky was really that blue.
It actually WAS a Le Mans-style start, but with a kick-off time of 10:00 and the participants being so knackered, we lined 'em up across the road and said "Go" round about half 9...not sure any of them actually noticed though

That looked like a lot of fun, wish I could have made it. Robins paint job is just perfect, love it
The right way up:
Thanks Chris, the forum site has been behaving its self with my photo posts recently, I had thought that there must have been a software update that stopped the frustration of the random revolutions, but obviously not. I did try with that one but failed.
