THE EVENT. Again, all credit to Mike Raven and his band of helpers for yet another highly successful Highland 3 Day Tour. Jan and Paul had assembled such a vast array of quality photos that I was spoiled for choice which ones to include - great quality too, I will have to invest in a better camera myself if I am to compete. The tour was not without incident and the billowing smoke ahead of us on the first morning signaled, not a BBQ at the lunch halt, but a coach which had burst into flames just prior to our arrival, delaying all of us by an hour or so. Fortunately no one was hurt in the fire but the bus was gutted. (See photo) Bernard Jones had a close call when the car in front he was overtaking seemingly did not see him and pulled out, Bernard's spinner neatly removed her hub cap. Henceforth he will be remembered as Bernard 'Boadicea' Jones. Many thanks to Mike on behalf of all we competitors for such a memorable event. |
