I've decided with the busyness of life, I can't dedicate the time I'd like to posting on here full blown trip reports. I'm sure others can testify that they take a bloody age to write up so I've thought it easier to post a moves summary along with a couple of comments and hope people find it just as interesting!
Anyway, my most recent moves:

Two winning 37s cleared for a thousand and a half (ish). Moves worked out with 601 getting about an extra 60 miles or so. Narrowly missed out (7 miles) in becoming my highest mileage 37 in one go. That's 7 cleared for a 'thou now.
37403 also scooped on an insect leap so 3 winners in a weekend ain't bad going! Only 069 407 424 667 left from DRS now. Time might be up for the latter however so will have to see on that.
Ace weekend despite the world's most almighty farce on the last day. Doubt I'll ever get an arrival delay like that ever again!
Oop and almost forgot the 9 winner spoons cleared in Newton Abbot, Paignton (x2), Exeter (x4) and Taunton (x2)

In other news, the work commute continues to pile up the miles. I usually manage 7 out of the 10 single trips a week on 91s with the rest going to anything else available on vices, late running, earlier trains etc etc.
Managed to knock my requirements for 100 miles down to the following:
- 02/44 43s (XC/VTEC)
- 01/31 91s
- 16/35 142s (Heaton)
- 03/12 156s (Heaton)
- 17/51 185s
- 04/34 220s
- 06/23 221s (XC)
One 91 now perilously close to clearing for a 'thou and lots piling over 500 now (x12)
