Cresta run
Press
2 January 1974

Now they might have been quite all right had Richard not been so ambitious. But he wanted a really good run, so he said, and chose a perfectly gorgeous hill for it, or, in other words, a very steep one. “It will be a real Cresta run,” he declared. It was as well Gwen and Ted did not know what he meant, or they might not have joined him. It certainly was a Cresta run, for they were soon shooting downhill like fire. They did not look very happy about it, though! I wonder if there was anything in the way?
