I prefered the old village , it had character . I remember one year , while buying a sausage or chips from a hawker , I turned around stood on a gutter cover and my leg disapeared past my knee down the hole , landed on my arse , whopped my knee off the edge of the steel gutter surround ..... felt like I had broke it . I honestly thought hospital was the next move for me ..... limp the lot , cut knee swollen knee and ripped jeans , I recoved my composure about 20 minutes later , was worried though .
Not about the knee , ABOUT THE RACE !!!
And seeing the old pits for the first time ..... magic to see .
I do understand that they needed a doing up , but I cant help missing them too .
