BathMTB: And then there were six

[Justin Woods]

Nice RR Kev but you forgot the C130 Hercules flyby! We'd just got to the
top of the steps and there it was at about the same level as us. I flashed
my light in there general direction and got a light signal back as well as
a incredibly sharp bank as they flew through the valley! Once they had gone
I had to apologise for acting like an over excited 10 year old.
