 Owing to the Marathon that was happening in Bournemouth on the same day and the consequent challenges we experienced in parking up together, it was impossible to count how many cars attended the event.  We certainly had 50+ cars leave from Swindon and my guess is that number was easily doubled at Bournemouth.  So perhaps a tad down ...

 Don't forget a walk along the pier   The weather forecast is not bad at all - light southerly winds (at last!) and a balmy 9 degrees Looking forward to seeing you all at HRs and its environs
