Your too kind Chris, I rambled for a bit really!!

The most important thing I did not do was congratulate all the T3 competitors so far. They have all made cracking efforts. Its not easy!

Sorry everybody, well done and start logging those altitude entry's

Should explain why the generation that grew up in South Africa during the 1980's has been so successful compared to everyone else. Charlize Theron, Mark Shuttleworth, Elon Musk to name a few, all came from 1 place & time.
