Alan, those shots were great (took a long time to down load though??).
Have you got any more and has anyone got any more of the RB4 event. For various reasons, I didn't get much of a view of the other participants!

Brian ( et al), I am going to post a few more but I can send you a whole lot more in better format if you want. Problem is they are about 480k each. If you email me an address I will send you a cd.

This is Hugh and I relaxing during a break on the way to Wells..
