sorry to anyone who encountered my grumpy self at the end.
@prancer
I feel your pain actually, even though I wasn't very patient with you at the time (I was already getting inebriated I'm sure you were aware). Nearer the dénouement I started to become (all of a sudden) a bit p'ed off with the other random riders of the DD. It may have been due to the slight detour my last 20 or so miles meant I was in a small group for a lovely finish, then a bit overwhelmed by the mayhem at Dunwich Beach. Was VERY glad to have a few quiet moments at the pub before lots of people realised it was open.
Also, whilst we're apologising, I want to say sorry to the two fellers who came and sat with us around 7am, like james I was a little fragile and I ended up being a little brusque with you, wasn't in the mood for new people.
