Wet but wonderful Whizz-combe
The GSM Delta was the first that I've ever seen When I arrived at Wiscombe Park I was amazed to see how cut up the the top field was. Under the trees it's sort of level but the ground was still waterlogged despite recent dry weather and ruts showed vehicles had got stuck and been towed out with difficulty. So we were all crammed into the top paddock and very cosy it was, too! It wasn't always sunny, though I met up with my old mate Pete Low who was on the first leg of his holiday to France. He was on his BMW Funduro and I was my Monster Mazda and we were both camping in tents. Friday was very windy and it rained hard. Neither of us got much sleep. There were rumours around the paddock in the morning that the event might be cancelled but I'm delighted to say that it wasn't. The lower paddock was very muddy and inevitably the start line became covered with clods from competitors wheels. It rained intermittently all through the day but we had some sunny spell...
