We'll start today with Smokin’ the Chimney, the thrilling conclusion to stage 3 of the Ryedale 3 day event. As you might expect by now, there is drama from the outset, Team Apollinaris certainly don't have it all their own way! I've included a couple of my own photographs to give you some idea of the terrain that faced the youngsters and as is always the case, they don't do anything I wouldn't do myself.

As promised,
