If i am honest its more likely that we will only do 6 or 7 lanes on the Saturday :wink: As people wanted to do strata in both directions that could take 2 and a half hours after stopping to take pics a the bomb hole just to do strata :D Strata is massive :dance:

Quick question, are we all meeting up somewhere during the strata run or wait till the end to meet up?
Also just out of curiosity are you doing any lanes locally before that you wouldn't mind me tagging along on? :lol: cheeky I know but you don't ask you don't get.
