Hi Ian,

Turn out at Mt Welly was a bit thin this time only around 1/2 doz pockets.
Could have been the weather as track was wet to start with and you'd know if ever running there is real slippery when damp.
I've never seen as many buckets crash, no injuries luckily.
Wouldn't mind getting over to Edgecumbe again, but it's just the 2+ hours traveling that gets me, still if I get someone else in the area here interested you never know.

The pockets are still bloody good fun eh.

cheers.

Al.
