A very long afternoon session with a century each from warwickshires clarke and  maddy

lancs start well enough but maddy and clarke spoil things for us

Gary Keedy ends the day on a high with the wicket of Porterfield 

chapple comes in after lunch to liven things up a bit ….. but rain comes again!!

dryer but colder….. luke sticking in there!

towards the end of play on the first day ominous dark clouds gather over the pavillion 

now hail stops play 

we’re underway …….and off    ……and back on.

this could be the theme for the day!

Day one delayed by rain. We may start around lunch as the sun is breaking through as i write.

first day out on the bonnie yesterday.

Got the M0T and spent the day riding around the Peak District.

the only day the sun didn’t shine!

Cold wet and scary!! but my hopes are high for more miles ahead this year.
