A few more:

The starting grid with the supporters



Mark (I think) leading the pack round the first bend



Someone having a little trouble with the tyre wall



Ray looking worried, after all the talk of Essex thrashing Suffolk that his his wife had threatened, wasn't going to happen



Essex back up driver?





A fun morning, now looking forward to the Essex/Suffolk PaintballParaglidingWindsurfingGocartingSubaquaSpeedboatQuadbikeJetski Challenge cup event!

Exsqueeze me.......

It was Suffolk's Andy U who threw the gauntlet down in the first place.........calling us a bunch of woosies!!!!!

I'll have you know you don't get penalty points for just swanning around ...

You get them for spinning and zooming off and
trying that wee bit toooo hard!



Never mind....I took the number of an Essex based paintballing company the other day.....

I'll go give them a ring.....

Strange but I did notice that the winning team had more than their fair share of my biscuits. Dave White had about five.

Mid Essex where were you ?

Unfortunately I couldnt persuade my sainted Mother to swap the gourmet lunch I treated her to, for sitting in a cart driving round a muddy field on a day with mixed weather.

Strange things these wimmin........

I'm amazed that you are confessing so publicly

Shame of it was...I didn't have my camera poised at the moment you decided to leave the track completely.

We all thought you'd had enough and was going home!!!!

If to err is human, to get it quite so wrong as that must be superhuman . Besides, it wasn't my cart .

Yeh, but only my son, imported especially from Lancaster (ah, so that's accomodation near Blackpool) managed to roll a cart onto its roof. It was Mrs Suffolkfox shouting 'is he alright' from closer than me when all we could see was them carefully turning the cart up the right way, then him wandering over to get in the next cart with 'that was fun' as his only observation Kids!

The best comment was from one of the others along the lines of 'So when were you aiming to let him drive Cerb??????'

All in all, excellent fun.
