Glad you like them Barry. More to follow later. It was a bright and sunny day but it was high up and bitterly cold. I could only wear a glove on my left hand so by the end of the day my shutter button hand was numb. Problem now solve I have invested in a pair of fingerless gloves ;D  ;D

Ross Macdonald from Westhill was 3rd in teh vintage mounted.

Charlie Macdonald from Millbank near Sauchen was second but I was hearing from him yesterday he had 10 points deducted because he finished a minute or so  late. Well I had to think to myself rules are rules and had he spent that minute "newsing" less he could have been the winner. So in my book he has no one but himself to blame >:(  >:(

Oh dear Bob Milne from Pitmedden and in his fist year in the conventional class struck a stone and despite trying to correct it he has made it worse but that won't put Bob up nor down...he will just laugh it off 8)

Bob Milne actually made not a bad finish given his run in with a stone earlier and the related bends 8)
