Of course it will be dry – I’m not doing it this year.
I’ve done the event on and off since the early days (the first year it really really rained in Trentham gardens!)
Apart from the year in Birmingham that it was insanely hot and dry (so dry everyone puked their guts up with the dust) it has rained every year I have done it. After a few years of thick mud I’d had enough and didn’t bother…. hence scorchio weather, dry fast race.
So the next year I thought why not give it another go. It rained and has every year since last year was a farce.
This year I’m not bothering and of course it will be scorchio again! I think I’ve offended the gods somehow (anyone know where I can get a spotless pure white goat and a ceremonial stone knife to placate them?)
Grrr!
