Might we have just seen the beginning of the end? The end of having to turn stokers away for not having enough pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trekker veterans will know only too well that each year there are a number of rides where we often have to resort to arm twisting, bribing and otherwise cajoling pilots to volunteer. And even then there are a few occasions when stokers are stood down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But today\u2019s magnificent turn out of seven signed up new pilots (plus two new stokers) and a further three potential recruits was nothing short of absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s hope the weather holds and allows us to finish our season in memorable style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
