Brilliant pictures David, shame about the weather on sunday

Great pictures as always David. They've made a lovely job of 10350. I used to pop out of college to go and look at it when it was sat under a tree in someone's front garden near Pulborough, it looked really rough!!

my photos are now uploaded the first few are of gladitor on its way home in the trenchal rain on the sunday.
