One word...Babylons

Next stop, Shanklin. How else would we get there but the legendary A3055. After arriving, seeing this sign, doing an emergency stop and using nothing but instinct to find the course, we arrived at the isle of wight's answer to the hanging gardens of Babylon....

A casual shot and potential calendar entry. Note the obvious sign informing us we can't stand on the tables.....which was ignored and not appreciated by the proprietor's wife!

So, after some obligatory interviews for sky sports and some much needed refreshments, we were on our way...fighting back the "flower power" to negotiate the best gingers we encountered on the tour.

This is just a photo to highlight just how many babylons were there...and to prove we aren't exaggerating!! Highlights of this course include plenty of reality check-ettes..including Chantelle's garlic

Luckily we read this sign before competing, and lived to tell the tale.

A final shot by the babylons...just before we were bombarded with a ridiculous amount of information about this course by the proprietor.

(see bonus points)

Jenster won this course with a score of 42 (very good according to the scoreboard) The rest were "good", with sarnie mcmarnie being dodgy..aww
