Wish I had slept better - long day ahead!
Up at 6am, however and finished packing, unzipping and zipping up my holdall several times as I remembered items that should have already been included.
Bacon butties for everyone for breakfast and then short drive to ECM Systems of Burstwick to hopefully get the Timer Repeater Display repaired.
Thankfully, the fault was traced to a couple of loose connections and an hour later saw me returning home with a fully functioning unit - many thanks to Richard (Blackshaw) for sorting this out for us.
Last panic act was to pack the Display in the original bag supplied in which both zip fasteners had given up the ghost! - So gaffer tape to the rescue again!!
Finally, laden up like a pack horse I began my journey to Stoke on Trent courtesy of Trans Pennine First via Manchester.
Fairly uneventful trip, arriving in Stoke at 2.45pm where I was chauffeured to Queens Park by my driver, Mr Barry Groves! Thank you very much.
I've now, I believe, merged seamlessly back into Team66 and it's as if I've never been away. I have had a wonderful holiday with my family and good friends and I desperately miss my wife and son already but I now need to refocus on the job at hand.
We've done our recon and don't anticipate any problems in getting to tomorrows venue.
A 7 o'clock start is planned with breakfast at the Racecourse and a 9am race start.
Bed time now at 22.45hrs.
'Nite all!
