^I almost got wiped out by a subaru driving towards me at 70mph+ overtaking the oncoming traffic. He wasn't expecting anyone to be there, missed me by about a foot. Did not enjoy that section. Also, congrats on getting in waaay before your cutoff time (9pm, wasn't it?)
It sounds really stupid, but despite the ride back clearly taking forever, I wasn't expecting it to be so short, or so different. shortness = so dazed, most of it just drifted by; different = a lot of it is very diffferent in the day time compared to standard night-time dunwich practise. mostly prettier in the dark :)
forgot to add that william1984 caught up with us on our way back and then flew into the distance (but we overtook him while he nipped into a convenience store for supplies...). It helped loads to see someone else was out there doing the same thing.
