The Getting Wet Round Britian tour
Day 1 - Ansty
Monday, 23rd August, 2004
Just up the road from Cathiron is the idilic canal side setting at Shilton, or Ansty as it is more commonly know. Many thanks to Scott Borthwick for helping out with last minute directions. When I got lost 1/2 a mile from the location.
When I arrived the heavens opened and the sky blackened just in time to see....
