Gig:  Christmas Live!

Venue:  Doncaster Racecourse

Not really a gig day, but I set off from there that morning!  The weather forecast was decent - but wrong!  Dean Clough was rather lively when I got there and I couldn’t cross at the usual point.  Fortunately a few metres upstream I could step over!

As I neared the summit I came across a fence and a gate that I didn’t recall - or was it there last year?  It was now raining quite hard so I just made four contacts on the handheld. Fortunately as I commenced the return walk, the rain stopped and the wind started drying me out quickly.

I made it back home to watch the remarkable conclusion to the F1 season.   The next gigs would be the coming Friday and Saturday - with a resumption of maths teaching before then - but at a school without a convenient SOTA summit along the commute…
