I went to the motorcycle racing at East Fortune today.
The weather forecast was not good but it turned out slightly less bad than
predicted. I got there & back (80 miles each way) just about in the dry.
There were some showers during the day and a downpour in mid afternoon.

I was feeling a bit annoyed that I'd forgotten about this event until I saw the last picture :)
ReplyDeleteAnd right on your doorstep too. The meeting is not well advertised - I had trouble finding much mention of the event on the web. Pretty unlucky with the weather it being good either side of the weekend.
