14 - Cheap Street, Sherborne - Peter Wilson

World record holder Peter Wilson was three points ahead going into the final of the Double Trap after three qualifying rounds.  And in a tense final shoot-out he missed five shots, including a double as he closed in on victory, but his opponents could not take advantage and Peter eventually finished two clear with a total score of 188 out of 200 shots fired.  This was Great Britain's 3rd Gold of London 2012.


Cheap Street reminded me of Diagon Alley.  We had a pleasant walk down to the postbox and, as in all the smaller towns, chatted to the friendly people around the golden shrine.  A man walking by asked who's postbox this was and I jumped in and said yes... then totally forgot Peter's name !  We had a quick lunch in the supermarket car park before whizzing off to our next rendezvous.
