At the Arrival Control
before the Rally Finish in Llandudno on Sunday afternoon, the crews had
anything up to 20 minutes to hang around kicking their heels waiting for their
due time. Most of the big teams were aware of this and had dispatched staff
members to feed the crews with cereal bars, salad sandwiches, fruit and soft
drinks.
I think it was Craig who spotted the chippie
first, but he had no money in his pockets (typical) so Kris gave him a handful
of crumpled notes. Craig vaulted the barrier, jumped the queue and returned
with two carrier bags full of steaming hot succulence for the boys.
The two DS girls looked rather bemused
by this Welsh delicacy which the lads were tucking into with the greatest of relish
accompanied by noises of great joy having been deprived of such 'comfort food'
in the run up to the rally.
There was however a serious omission in
the Welsh recipe according to Kris - no fritters and the sausages were naked!
