Well I'm home. Just! The wheel bearings collapsed on the rear end of the car and and I limped home the last 30 miles praying it would hold together and not toss me off the road. It weaved and wobbled and made a horrible noise, but I managed to nurse it back.
Great day other than that. Thank you to Nigel and Neil for the organisation and refreshments. bacon butties, soup, samosa's, fine ale, fishing.....what more could a man ask for? A grayling perhaps, but chub and spottie herberts sufficed.
