I felt guilty for putting them away at Parkway (they were running early and a load of XC services had caught up with them) but it does make for a better photograph!

I think you should have held them up a bit earlier then, instead of hearing them while stood on my driveway, I could have filmed them going up Filton Bank!

They'll be calling at the WSR gala on the way home. Come and see them in action weekend after next ....

Yeah you could have held them a bit longer in charfield loop, then i may have got down the hill to the crossing to get some photo's, or is the up loop glos controlled?
