    Yep, it’s P&P o’clock again. Let’s have some of your finest sporting photographs, this time encompassing the theme of landscapes. I’m expecting several of what my mother refers to as “castle pron” pictures from the TDF in here…!

    For starters;

    May break my “Race time must be greater then time traveled to get to the event” rule … to do this one day.

    Slightly more low-key than the Olympics venue, but certainly more scenic…

    And a slightly larger cricket venue…

    I rescued a wild goat from the surrounding fence! It had got its head through the wire and its horns were acting like a barb on a fish hook. Poor little fella was really panicking.

    Carry on.

    JAG, that’s exactly the sort of thing we need! Love it!

    Greeble, where dat at?

    Chunky, played a few games there, as it happens, in prep school sevens tournaments. Do you actually know where it is? 😉

    That did occur to me, as I always thought CFH has implied he played on the Southern Circuit, whereas we played on the Midlands circuit.

    Which year did you play? I have all the records to hand.

    Thoroughly nice chap from there pops in regularly, he’s been there since the 70’s.

    You have records for the Prep Schools Sevens Tournament held there in the 80s. That’s pretty impressive as I don’t recall such a thing existing.

    Is this true? Dread to think who that could be.

    He won a couple of golds and smashed the back of his head on the platform/springboard
