Yes there are a few duffers, but a squad with McDonald, Elliott, Penrice, McMillan, Spittal, Fitzpatrick, Cardle and Doolan should be comfortably top half.

Words like monsoon come to mind. The torrential downpour did not cease all the way up and down the A9. It was the sort of weather that prompted Noah to build the Ark.
