Yup, I'll be the first to admit there was some organisation lacking. the reason why we went through Dee Why is that it is the usual way we go down.. Dunno why people went Wakehurst Parkway, but i guess with that many cars, so few radios and lack of designated "lead" cars, it was bound to happen.
the whole "getting up and leaving" had a lot to do with the burnout that occurred as it's a sure-fire way to get the wrong kind of attention, and I guess people didn't want to hang around waiting for it.
good to meet you, would have liked to have been able to have a proper chat, but circumstances (tired GF ) didn't allow it
