Just arrived home, 03.10 from the Evesham Bridgnorth run. All went
well. The weather here was attrocious with a thunderstorm and very heavy
rain, not a good start. However the rain stopped just before we set out, so
all was well The southern leg ran approximately 45mins late and so arrived
at Evesham around 12.45.Tim and Sue Hawkesworth came to wish us Bon Voyage
and see us safely setting out. We exchanged the pasty baton and all
paperwork leaving for Bridgenorth at 01.00. We had quite a good run, though
we did encounter frequent fog patches, some quite dense. We arrived at
Bridgnorth railway station a few minutes after 02.00. We all celebrated with
a cup of hot coffee, again did the exchanges and I set off home. A
thoroughly enjoyable drive carried out TOPLESS FOR THE WHOLE RUN.

Dane's co-driver Buddy complete with "Doggles" - I guess the caption has to be something to do with purgatory - Oh where is that pasty smell coming from?

Back to reality now! The trip from Brentons down to Penzance was good topless fun with the torrential showers onlyu happening when stopped in an Emmett jams on the A30.

The Mayor was very upbeat about our run and gave us a large donation too. The farmers market people in Penzance were wonderful and would like to see us every year !!

The expected crowds at LE did not materialise so the transit through was easy. The transit sheet was stamped by the LE hotel reception which is standard procedure for them. We parked our cars on the start line for photos. This is also the only way out of the car park so we made our own Emmett jam.

The run was in lovely weather to Brentons where we stopped for tea with fish ‘n chips before departing on the scheduled time for Bodmin. Shire House car park was deserted but we stayed for a few minutes for photos before raiding Morrisons for fuel and the all important transit sheet stamp. The weather deteriorated on the approach to Oakhampton (the highest part of our sortie) with stair rod rain so strong that the drivers could not see the flooded roads ahead. We stopped for a few minutes in a lay-by where it was not worth raising the hood as everything in Moll was running with water anyway. The rain eased a bit so once again we set off to arrive at Exeter late! Blast, sorry everyone.

We bid farewell to the little formation as they left for Bridgewater and we split up to make our own way home in clouds of spray and rain on the M5/A30.

It is stripping down and mopping out Marlin day today.

I wish the best of good fortune to all the other brave souls on LEJOG.

Cheers,

Dane M M Crosby
