Today was the first time I have done the Tour since it moved to a November slot. I was slightly disappointed about how easy is these days to navigate around the course by following the trail of discarded Go Gel wrappers. For people who supposedly enjoy the hills, leaving a trail of litter across them is not acceptable - litterlouts stay home.

On a lighter note, thanks Kieran, four hours of sheer pleasure (well, two and a half, until the boiler blew up) with a tee-shirt thrown in and all for five quid - you don't get value for money like that at Alton Towers.
