| Thursday May 6th:
Setup
day...
|
 |
|
|
| The view from the Start, at
Antony's Stile:
|
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| Sea King pilots and crew lifting
out the more remote Tor parties and kit...
|
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| Refuelling...
|
 |
|
|
| ...taking on the Tor
personnel:
|
 |
|
|
| ...then the Tor kit...
|
 |
|
|
| ...and then away, all in five
minutes:
|
 |
|
|
| Friday, May 7th: The Teams' camp, from the
not-quite-yet assembled Awards rostrum:
|
 |
|
|
| Teams outside
scrutineering:
|
 |
|
|
| ...and a first glimpse inside:
|
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| 14:50: Team Registration - almost
done
and dusted:
|
 |
|
|
| The queue for
scrutineering...
|
 |
|
|
| ...being serenaded as they wait:
|
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| And then the kit-check:
|
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
| The thing about
scrutineering is how many plastic bags you have...
