Didn't have to stretch this one to fit Rachel's topic (one of my favs on the more mellow side):

Thanks for the reminder about this great tune and group that is one of the truly unique from the UK (or anywhere)!

Yeah, was only there once for work. Probably slept through the train ride (?) from the airport, and spent my day off renting a car and driving to Zurich (from Lake Constance).
PS. It was a great trip, terrifc staff at the little hotel, but kinda weird, since I was there during Yom Kippur.
As a proud former member of several groups at Siemens, I'm also not surprised the Germans have the better system! #:')

Wound up imagining the storm instead from bed with a raging flu, while missing the chance to try out my new, heavily modified & highly suspect XC equipment.
