Endurance Legends, Donington Park: Saturday, 12th May, 2018.

10:30-ish.
Howard's ready to race but, unfortunately, this Mini Moto 
is not quite mini enough for him.
Welcome to Donington's new cafe/restaurant/bar-thingy.
This is the outside…………
……and this is the inside.
Verdict? Much better than the old one.
Breakfast menu is good.
Lunch menu could be better.
Ladies loos already grubby and need a good clean 
(Vicky re-visited them in the afternoon and they were much better. 
So somebody is cleaning them throughout the day).
Keep up the good work Dr Palmer. You'll get there.
Selfie reversed.
Some proper classic 'bikes.
Two of Fast Freddie's.
Who can resist a Yoshimura Suzuki?
Classic indicator.
Taking photos of the Classic Endurance 'bikes 'n' stuff.
11 thousand……12 thousand……..13 thousand……into second!
With all due respect to Paul Sample, Ogri and, indeed, Malcolm. 
Team Racing Motorbike Suzuki GSX1100.
View from the new Hollwood grandstand is panoramic but you are miles from the action.
View of Redgate from the same grandstand.
Note the acres of cowin' run off nowadays.
KAT2 ENDURANCE Honda VFR750 in close company at Redgate.
Duncan Fitchett - 1962 Manx Norton - at Roberts in the first Landowne race.
Steve Parrish is just one of the riders in the Suzuki Parade.
Vicky reckons, and I quote, that parades are the equivalent of a drum solo.
Read into that what you will.
Fernando Mendes (50) & Nigel Palmer - both TZ Yamahas - at Roberts in the GP Originals race.
16:15-ish.
We're not the only ones feeling worn out after a long day.
Time for one more cuppa tea in The Paddock and then the drive home.
Fit Bit stats:
12.5k steps. 5.6 miles, and 24 stairs.
