I experimented with a fly's sort of view of the setup, I'm not quite sure if this really worked but here you go.

Hi Guys

I had a great day up at Ian's running ground with the two Ian's, Neil, Mark, Clive and me. The hospitality was absolutely superb, Ian and Maza are a great couple who really make you feel welcome. And thanks again for the endless supply of food and drinks. Hope to see you very soon.

A couple of pictures below.

The soil up there is absolutely superb to run on, its like a sandy - peatty soil and only 2 minutes away from the sea, (tank time) which has lovely mossy short grass, perfect for the tanks. This is a great running ground,its a credit to you guys. 8) 8)

A BIG THANKS :P :P :wink:

Maybe it was a private do or invitation only as it never appeared in the Events section :o

It'll be strange to see the bridge on foreign soil :roll:
