Our version is more "Jumpers for goal posts" mates racing, and it's getting a good following!!

This time, everyone was racing for the Rabbit Clock...... With defending winner from Round 1 - Matt Steadman out of the running (Wedding plans and stuff) he was taking photo's (And writing the Blog!)

And big thanks to the burger stall guy for letting us plug into their generator for the power for the flood lights!! After a quick unpack and a late night feed in our uber cool Eco House Tantah Croft  it was off to bed for a good kip! Saturday..... Practice and qualifying!
