The Arboretum is a sick hill and has perfect, I'll say it again, perfect pavement, but the logistics for large s...

Good call Ben. The gate being closed is key. We could do a 100 cone course if the gate is closed. Paul, looks like rain tomorrow I guess. We'll see. If it rains I'll just go to Rye Airfield anyway. We'll see.
