The aptly named ‘wailing wall’. Recognise that guy in the picture? Walt Berger no less!

A great viewing gallery to watch the action and keep an eye on your team members
with the odd trek to the restaurant or toilet, we were walking around two miles a day! In spite of eating out every night, I still lost weight. I was looking forward to 6.00pm, a cold beer and a lie-in on Saturday morning!
Thankfully, the fine weather returned for the final 200m Heavy Varmint shoot and today, we saw ‘the king’ at his very best as Tony Boyer took the win, with fellow American Gene Bukys in second spot. Vera was back – finishing 8th and I was more than happy with my 11th place and yet another record - this time it was USA’s Larry De Costa shooting a 4.21mm group. More importantly - it was over! A great week and tonight, a great celebration.
