Hi Dave , many thanks for a great event. It was well organised and lovely secret control point and also the full and plenty refreshments at the end , Cheers Leonard and the late crew…
Hi Dave, big thanks for a hugely enjoyable day,
Well organised….especially that ice cold long neck at the finish !
Hi Dave,Colin and Ken, all eight of our 300 Orwell Wheelers crew (including 5 first timers) were over the moon with the great welcome you gave us in Joe’s last night . It was great to celebrate the achievement with the warm welcome food and the cool beer. Genuinely it makes a big difference to have all that organised at the end of a challenging day. Well worth the effort, and very much appreciated, to have a great place, and atmosphere to celebrate the moment, thanks a million guys
