Cambs HFT results March 23rd

Its been a while since we’ve had a full ‘four-seasons-in-a-day’ shoot, and today came pretty blooming close. Painfully close with those conker sized hailstones.
As most of us arrived we’d been through rain at some level, from a short sharp shower to constant drizzle, but at the start of the comp we were in bright (if a tad breezy) sunshine. By about the midway point though the sky had gone ominously dark… and then it started. Initially we thought it was just a shower, until the large frozen lumps started bouncing up off of the ground at you. First time we’ve ever had a ceasefire because an ice storm has rendered visibility inoperable.

Congratulations to all those who bravely ventured through it, red noses and white fingers abound. Our thanks to Sue and Ben for manning the catering van; never have coffee and burgers been so gratefully sought!
