Unfortunately my drive sprocket came adrift on the first hill out of the village and I had to pull the chain case off on the side of the road. I spent the rest of the day trying to track the convoy down (without exceeding 30 mph as the engine had just been put together). I eventually caught up as you all pulled into Netheravon camp. The bike managed to stay in one piece on the route back!

Ha Ha, the joys of being a DR. I think it was the following year, when again I was one of the DR's on convoy duty, where we perform the usual 'drop off' method to mark the corners. One bright spark deserted his corner and me and my mate Tim went straight on instead of turning right. We got totally lost in whatever county that is, and it started pissing with rain. Everyone else was nicely ensconced back at camp by the time we arrived 2 hours later.
