There was rain around lunchtime though. Just to keep up with tradition. :)) And you always need a coat, no matter what time of year it is. Temperature drops by about 10c as soon as you get through the gates!

2008 was horrible. But it did add to the spectacle. How my camera survived the soaking it got I'll never know.

The weather did make for some very dramatic shots!
