Brief Overview

Brian Digby:

"In view of the cancellation of IMLEC 2001 due to the foot and mouth disease epidemic, members of Guildford MES decided to host a similar event open to all who wished to enter.

Run No.26: Lionel Flippance, with his British Railways style Mikado George Eveniss had a passenger load comprising 15 adults, 2 juniors and 3 kiddies. With little variation in lap times, Lionel covered 13 laps at an average speed of 8.5mph, then stopped a lap later to set down all but one of his passengers and run a further lap to make a total of 16 laps for his run"
