Absolutely spiffing stuff don't you know,
having played about on the Pudding stone I can highly recommend it,
when you look at the stuff the old timers did with their gear and no pro, puts things into perspective and they would be delighted to see how the sport has progressed I'm sure. Well done team for the video, spot on.
