Superb day on the snow and ice in the Forest of Dean. Superb Effort by the organisers and competitors to run the event and put on the show for us spectators.

Weather made for some spectacular driving and photo opportunities. Here are a few from me, comments welcome:

Tom,

The last one is just fantastic!!

Print it, frame it and then hang it somewhere everyone can see.

Great set Tom, plenty of variety in shots. Saw the Beast at the Border Counties last year, cracking.
