Notes :
(1) Original booked timings show the circuit in reverse to what happened on the day. Kevin Driscoll has offered booked timings in reverse to above, Ian Umpleby has offered booked timings matching the route taken (he is unsure whether this was an amendment handed out on the day or he may have seen a STN). Both versions are retained in the timings below for reference.
