You went wrong Ian? Ha ha :D:D
That was the best trunce since the classic stream crossing a couple of years ago. I had mud up to me chin.
I was speaking to a guy before we set off who said this was his 31st Trunce and the first one in the rain!!:eek:
Thanks to Col for "splashing" me in the second stream crossing - i was soaked:rolleyes:
that wasn't rain that was a washing machine:DQuote:

Hot and humid this morning.
What a great race. The thunder really added an apocalyptic feel to the evening.
I too took the scenic detour round the woods but ended up flying into the river a little way upstream from the crossing where it was quite a bit deeper than I expected!
Looking forward to the next one.
Got some great photos from last nights race of the stream footpath, anyone know how i can post them on the web site.
It was fantastic, best Trunce I've done to date! Yeah so I got a bit lost in the woods but who cares really it was just good fun. Nearly went for a swim along the farm track on the way home... must remember to pack my snorkel for these races!
Nice one, was hoping to see some!Quote:

Didn't see anyone with a camera last night??? :confused: Just a few sodden spectators trying to make the best of the monsoon! :p
Any joy with the pics Blueby?Quote:

I've voted yes on that front, would be good to just have t-shirt you can throw on without having to worry about finding your number.Quote:

i was standing in the stream taking some photos just as the heavens opened....and i must say they were the best photos i'd ever taken, such a shame my camera got a bit wet and decided to pack in.....
but.....i've just found my old card reader so if i can get it working i can forward them to the Trunce site, and when i said they were the best i'd ever taken....errrrr....i've not actually seen them yet....
Best night ever at the Trunce and nobody has any photos up!
the card reader doesnt work now....but a mate is going to copy them for me so when i get them back i'll get them online.....
Nice one Straggler... one step closer to seeing your best pics ever! :DQuote:

Yep that's a good 'un... look forward to seeing the rest! I see on the Trunce website they're building a "gallery" section so I'm sure they will appear there soon. :)

Good one. certainly brings back the atmosphere of the run
