Marathon Day at Catton Hall

---

Today was marathon day on the grounds at Catton Hall. It was very interesting to see all the different teams and how they approached the hazards differently. Some were more timid than others, and then there were the elite that seemed to be almost out of control and some did push it too far and wreck or lose a groom.

We got some good action shots of Team Bouncer, especially in the water hazard. Thankfully, Suzy, Claudia, and Bouncer made it through unscathed and are still leading the field for the single ponies.

After the hazards were done we took some time out for another side trip to Stoke-on-Trent to see the Wedgewood factory. That was very interesting and we were able to pick up some nice earings for Vicki. I think this was more our speed at this point in time versus some of the more high priced pieces we saw. Although they did have some absolutely maginificent artistry.

Wedgwood Factory
We decided to visit the Wedgwood factory as we were so close to Stoke-on-Trent.
