Well we had it all,
I got lost in Walsall twice trying to pick Lyndon up was not so good a start.
Got there about 9.30am, about 45mins later than planned and it was cold, but the sun was shining, out of the wind and in the sun it was quite a nice day.
So we headed in and over to Craners on the infield,
The stockers were just finishing.
Now I have to put my hand up here and say, I have not done one single bit of looking into who is riding what, who is with who or what frigging numbers they are riding under!
So as the first rider comes over Craners I realise this and my thoughts are. who the fcuk was that? who is in the series this year? who's running what fcuking numbers,
You get the picture, I was fcuked!
So I just shot lol, sort out who's who tomorrow.
We had an hour or so there just watching them fly down Craners chatting bout this n that and catching up on what we know/have found out. etc.
Up to the cafe for a brew n a bacon buttie,
So warmed and fed took a wander round the back of the pits whilst the stockers were on track, and a dirty cloud is starting to hover above.
As we get to the top end there is no one in one of the garages so we nip through and on to the pit wall
And it starts to frigging snow! session stopped! FCUK!
Got a couple of snaps of stockers but lens size was against me for closer work, sorry.
And the team garages were closed with the fronts down,
We leave the pit's and walk back, the line for the pit walk was immense, longest I've seen for a while.
Sod that let's have a coffee. We both agreed.
Brew over went and got a spot on melbourne exit, whilst the muppets fought for a glimpse of their fave riders.
We ended up chatting to a couple of other guys who bumped in while I was talking to Lyndon about Skara Brea!
He wanted to know about the Orkney's, After 10 minutes I thought he was going to go to the car and set off there and then ha ha ha.
So we hung around on the exit of melbourne for a while and then drop to the bottom end to shoot the bikes as they come towards and lean away.
Not long later session was over and we left satisfied we had seen enough.
I dropped Lyndon back at Walsall bus station and made my way home.
Not much of a write up, but not a lot happened.
Austin next
Pic's from today tomorrow, too fcuked now
