I found out today that there are two six-0-clocks in a day. That was the time of awakening for a seven-o-clock departure with old Numbum to arrive at Brockbushes Farm, Corbridge to do signing on duties for today's run.
We set off on a bright sunny. but cool morning only to feel the temperature dropping as we climbed northwards and saw ominous clouds in the sky. Thankfully they were just clouds and we only saw a few drops of rain all day.
Once esconced in the cafe with a cuppa we set up to do a job we really enjoy, meeting new people and renewing aquaintance with folk we've met before.
We set off in fine form and the old gal ran well all day. The challenging route, organised by the Alexander family, was a joy to drive and we had a great time.
There were three fords on the route, but only one with any significant water. Barrie, our ex secretary paid a visit and was by the ford taking pictures. Did we manage to get him wet?

We missed him. He can't half move quickly for an auld gadgie.
I tried out an alternative video mount with a second camera. Not so good unless you believe that the back of my head is better to look at.

At one point on the run, with a biting wind blasting across the hilltops, Pam & I discussed why we do this sort of thing. This brought this video to mind. The comment at two minutes, sums it up perfectly.
We arrived back at Brockbushes and headed straight for the cafe for a cuppa & cream scone to warm us up. Time for a few photos of the presentations and the dwindling number of cars before setting off for the run home.
A safe run home, without the broken crankshaft of last year, saw us parking Numbum in the garage and getting the kettle on. Being weary, windblown and a bit chilly couldn't take away the enjoyment of the day.
A big thank you to all who helped to make it possible.
