So here we are again, down on Stratford-on-Avon's Greenway . .

. . where some couldn't wait to get started . . but others are going to have to wait a little longer for their opportunity . .

The car park provided plenty of space for meeting and greeting familiar faces and comparing strategies, for posing for photos and for taking them . .

And once everyone had set off on their journey, there was a rare opportunity to record Ed, Sharon, Lesley and Mark all together . .
