Smile A trip down memory lane . . . . .

. . . . . & maybe a look towards the future.

I was trawling through the Flat Eric archives looking for some "group shots" for another thread. In doing so I came across some real gems that have lain forgotten & gathering dust for many years.

I hope you will enjoy looking back at some glimpses of the past with, for those that were there, some fond memories. And for those that are new to the ESC with a hint of what may be to come.

They start from way back in 2002 when men were men & women were grateful & I was a Scooby meet virgin.

But not for long. It was all about to change.

Enjoy.

First "official" tunnel run (with me leading the way ). Yep, it was a Sunday day-time run in the old days.
