S10 Ep 388 It's Joe's Turn For A Surprise Guest - Who Can It Be ?

And that, I think, was the beginning of the change in the attitude of let's just grow as quickly as we can.

Three laps.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 388 It's Joe's Turn For A Surprise Guest - Who Can It Be ?

There are a couple.

There's one up in the Lake District, which has 220 metres of climbing.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 388 It's Joe's Turn For A Surprise Guest - Who Can It Be ?
