We've just finished at the track. The good news is that the track itself is in good condition. The bad news is that the council seem to have only uncovered one drain and the field is as bad as it ever gets. We dug a pit and pumped the brown grass area which certainly shifted some of the water there, but the field will need weeks of dry weather before it's good for taking traffic. I got stuck just on the perimeter.

We will be there tomorrow, but everyone has to be aware that you will take a risk in driving on the field. I'm going to get there early and open up the main gate. There is a very narrow channel from the gate that may be navigable and then it will be best to park alongside the croquet club hedge. Just by the gate is quite boggy, so I'll see if I can lay some plywood over the obvious areas by the gate.

It might be worthwhile just parking on the road outside and quickly checking the situation before attempting to drive on the field.

So, it's going to be a suck it and see day.
