I have had the chance to work in every position at the MMC as a flaggy (a marshal carrying the flags), tracky (trackside marshal) and communicator (fixed point observer).
Then there's the deep gravel brogue of Seamus Heaney, reading "Postscript": "And some time make the time to drive out west / Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore, / In September or October, when the wind / And the light are working off each other / So that the ocean on one side is wild / With foam and glitter, and inland among stones / The surface of a slate-grey lake is lit / By the earthed lightning of a flock of swans .
Visitors will admire the subtle shades of diffused light in The Flaggy Shore, County Clare, Ireland and the gorgeous pinks and reds in his Lake District study of the scenes at Wastwater.
