I think on our next meet-up Mark should try to 'catch' SK on a MKIV and Mitchell 300. :hahaha:

Walker said that he was able to stop a springer spaniel with a MKIV even when someone was calling it at the other end of the garden!

From memory, not that good these days....there was a nice looking stretch of the Stour near Sturminster. Lovely house.
