Amid nationwide ‘drought’ conditions we drove through the rain on Friday evening down through Wales and England to our destination for this ‘nearly-summer’ weekend.

We took all but one of our Pyranha fleet to deepest darkest Scotland this Easter. With only one day of rain all week levels could have been better but then again we’re pretty well practised in running things on the low side after two dry winters! Levels aside, we had a brilliant time taking on …
