Sadly it broke down on the finish line just ahead of the Bishop Foden and had to be pushed to the side where it remained. But considering its purpose as a parade promotion vehicle getting to Madeira Drive was maybe the achievement of the day.

Had it ran out of juice?

I've done the London to Brighton quite a few times now, and I can honestly say that Sunday was by far the wetest I've ever experienced. Leaving Crystal Palace in torrential rain was enough to test anyones committment to this wonderful cause.

Well done to all those who came to watch!

Lets hope next year will have wonderful weather to help celebrate its 50th Anniversary.

Well done Neil, I understand Mr Jones has been celebrating at long last and Mrs Jones has bought a tub of silver polish !! Must be because there were no Sentinels to show the Fodens up this year !!!

Yes, he's been trying to get a first place for a number of years now. What with the weather, the Foden was looking a little dirty to say the least. Perhaps next year, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary a few more steamers will attend....too far for you I guess?

Maybe, can't have you lot winning it 2 years in a row !!
