And if I'm not wrong, that's a screwdriver he is hitting with the "hammer".
Great to see that ingenuity and fine craftsmanship are still prized.  Regards Jim |

The bit I like is that it worked!
(That was at Bottom Ess Slip road, he aborted his run when his chain broke and jammed everything up.) |

He was lent the screwdriver (WWII vintage) by one of the marshals, but asking everyone around, including the Burger bar, we were unable to obtain a hammer of the traditional variety, so Brian went all caveman and used the biggest rock he could find. The result was that the chain was succesfully un-jammed from the sprocket and he was able to take his later runs.
I'm assured that rumours that he constructed a new chain using pieces of fence and a home-made hand-axe are marginally wide of the mark... |

Now if the Rescue unit had been parked in bottom 'S' we'd have been more than happy to help.
