With the cars, and occupants, raring to go the cars set off – Jags to the front others behind.

Our final departure. We had been reserved a quiet area and were able to take advantage of the wide selection of ale and wine – at least the non-drivers could! The food was excellent, a broccoli and stilton soup followed by choice of beef, lamb or pork roast. Desserts and coffee available as required. Unfortunately the weather deteriorated by mid afternoon and there was heavy rain for our return journeys.
