I know the Land Rover owner and he was OK, and the the Focus passengers also said they were OK.

2 police cars turned up, then a ambulance, followed by the quick response medic. They all seemed happy with everyone when I left. My Dad stayed on the keep traffic moving.

What happened was...
Focus travelling south from the direction of the Castle of Comfort Inn. Land Rover heading West and preparing to turn northwards. The Focus driver did not see the junction until to late and hit the front of the Land Rover.

The landowner today added a few extras to the course to make it more interesting, included was some spare tyres, a log or two, and some parts of Weston Beach transported over via telepathy.

A fun time trial for all that have managed to wake up from the party. Lovely weather today with plenty of sun. Lambs Lair mud was like it always is...sticky!

Another wonderful event organised by the Midwest team. The weather was perfect for the days competing with sun and blue skies. It did start off a little chilly but the rest of the day was fine. The ground was wet/slippery and that can be seen in the photographs.

Most of the course was up in the woods where they went in and out of the woods a few times. This proved rather difficult for many of the riders today with a lot of people getting stuck in the mud.

Alan Campbell from
www.zebedi.co.uk was also there today taking video footage. To order a DVD of the days footage contact Alan.

Early this evening (sometime before 7:10pm on the 18th July) there was an accident at Charlton Crossroads in Shepton Mallet (Somerset). A lorry driving down Whitstone Road stopped at the Traffic lights at the same time the lorry's load of RSJs came though the back of the cab and shot though the front windscreen. Currently I don't know the status of the lorry driver though I believe he is unharmed there is no sign of any other people being hurt in the incident.
