Pig Farm August 2015
Submitted by Neil Abbott on Sun, 09/08/2015 - 14:26A record run in about 2.5 hours! Just five of us ripped through the tracks; that's not say we had any 'stoppages' ! Even in the first 500m of the track we all had grief. Shaun give us some fun moments diving into water that even Jacques Cousteau would have baulked at!
