Graham .... thank you for your service  ..... K More to come Keith - though not VSCC. Both Saturday and Sunday this weekend should be live streamed. As for spotting Morgans in Broadway I saw two yesterday. The first, around 15:00 was one of the factory hire cars, the second, 15:30'ish was an Ivory J prefix 4 seater, with the hood up! In beautiful sunny weather (Mind you, we had parked the Saab up out of the way in one of the car parks behind the shops  ).

22 seconds up Shelsey Walsh. That is moving. I think the best I got was 31s basd upon my timing of myself in various ToTH events. John .... 31s up Shelsley is a cracking time for a Morgan .... you should stop messing about and get competing seriously! .... the hills worm their way into your psyche The speed the Big Boys go up that hill is heart stopping .... seeing them firing through Crossing and hitting ess approach at 130 mph with the sparks flying off the rub-strips as they bottom out is one of the best sights in motorsport in my opinion .... then 150 mph over the line on a track narrower than most people's living room lined with railway sleepers .... proper motorsport And there's usually a selection of Morgans both on the programme and in the spectator car park .... my idea of heaven on a sunny weekend .... just a pity it's such a long way from here!

K It was probably longer. It is hard to time your self & drive. I don't have the courage to go up faster but admire those who do.

John .... you should do their 'driving school' with your new motor ..... next time you go up the hill you should borrow a go-pro .... the timer on them gives as good a time reading as anything outside proper 'competition day' 100th sec timing ... you can probably tell I'm an incurable addict ..... not sure what I'm going to do when my reflexes inevitably degrade beyond being able to drive a single-seater .... that's what presses my buttons ....guess I'll have to master the knack of growing old gracefully ... tho past performance doesn't bode well for that!!

Great escape pub lunch at the Fur & Feather, Woodbastwick, the Woodfordes brewery tap. Only four today in three cars but three dogs made up the numbers. Bertie, Morton and 'Belle parked up ready for what surprisingly turned out to be a dry ride home despite threatening skies. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/MrmSs6H.jpg)
