A day and a bit in and we are 12th of 21. Not shameful but on the mediocre side of respectable.
Lets aim for top 10 at least. Paul is leading the charge in 35th. I'm a 120 places behind him. I'm away from the farm just now but as soon as I get home tomorrow the gloves will be off & the fight will be on.

Up to 11th now, 10th in the distance with only a day and a bit to go however after passing Silver, the Calvary, in the form of the Janos Juggernaut, flattened me on the way past. :D Will try and stay in it's slipstream for as long as I can 8)

I finally finished wrapping presents and made it down to the basement where I found loads of Asteroids WU awaiting upload . A few clicks later we are now in 9th position significantly ahead of KWSN and I have shot up to 35th just 5 places behind Janos. With just 10 hours left I doubt I can snatch the challenge crown from him but I can try! :D

Well done sir. I'm out of this as I've now had the weather / power / Janos effect. Sorting through the carnage :(
