Cheltenham I do not miss.
Standing shivering up to my ankles in water in a gale-swept tent in a freezing waterlogged swamp with no food or drink within a mile's paddle for eight hours while waiting for a bunch of drunken bums to stumble back to the cab half an hour too late to make it home in daylight and demanding to be dropped off at unbriefed and unknown sites en-route. And usually in the filthiest weather.
No, I don't miss Cheltenham.
But it was the first event that reminded you that life had returned, if fleetingly, to the charter business.
