Thanks Steve. Getting soaked is compulsory isn't it? Chris

[Lainiodurrant]

Excellent footage Chris, and great to have you posting once again. Please have further trawls through the old footage...weather just as bad in 2005 I see!! Austin

[khankadet]

Thanks Austin. You never know what you might find looking back but I know there's a load of silent footage where I messed up the sound somewhere. I think there's a phenomenon called S&C weather!! Chris

[EMuksteam]

Great video ,it`s nice to look back at past vids now and again 5*

[khankadet]

Thanks EM. Looking back can be rewarding. As I recall it we were too late for the free mince pies and mulled wine at Hellifield (those in the know arrived early), it rained all day (surprise, surprise), Lizzie was replaced and the coach heating was non-functional (flipping cold trip - ice on the inside of the windows) but still had a great day out and wouldn't have missed it. Sad or what? Chris

[Steam1989]

Good to have you back Chris. We've missed you load...well i have anyway! :-)

[khankadet]

Thank you David. Hopefully there'll something more worthwhile sometime in the future. Chris

I take it your really fed up now, great vid especially having my favourite pocket rocket, going to be chasing it later in the year. you were lucky then werent you

[khankadet]

Thanks Lou - quite frustrating to be honest. The rocket wasn't doing much here but she certainly did her share on the climbs. Chris

Excellent video Mike, typical S&C weather...Great to see some material from you again...5* Bob

[khankadet]

Thanks Bob - the rain prevented any worthwhile onboard footage. Chris
