Unfortunatley my usual race partner, Kris, was injured with shin splints, so kindly Gullers stepped in for a leisurely stroll around the quieter area of the Lakes.

I was looking forward to the weekend because I knew quite a lot of people who were also racing. Tom and Charlotte were attempting their first MM, and 4 pairs were entered from teamHSX.
