Gov's Stag-Day Karting, Ellough Airfield, Beccles, Suffolk - 19th January 2008

Gov has a stag-day session of karting at the Ellough kart track near Beccles in Suffolk. Nosher has to head over to Cambridge later in the day and so doesn't quite have the time to do the whole thing, so instead hangs around to watch some early races and take a few photos. The track is outdoors and it's been raining, so there's plenty of water on the track to soak the participants.
