So, do the Dutch actually have mountains?  All opinions expressed in this posting are my own and are not necessarily those of someone who knows what they are talking about.

So bloody knackered running up and down hills ... not bad for a fat lad!
BUT ... it was a good day out! Driving Chris's D3 at one point was a bit scary thought I had pee'd myself untill he told me it was 'heated seats'  People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

PS Bernd and Gerry made the ferry just in time, traffic was bad round Weatherby and Leeds but got there in the nick ... Thanks to all who came along and supported the weekend "Dutch Mountain Rescue" training exercise.
PS: Loopyles (if / when you read this thread) the 90 performed once again!
Thanks ALL People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

We applied for EU funds to build us some 10.000 feeters.
What else did you think the EU needed that 6% budget increase for.
Now that was disapproved, we can do nothing but keep on practicing in the UK
Great pics you guys posted. I'll post mine soon.
Thanks for a great weekend chaps
