The tables are turned on Dirt TV … now renamed GMTV after new host
Greg Minnaar of Santa Cruz Syndicate … the ever versatile Kathy
Sessler shows another of her many talents!
The parttime correspondent
for Rabbit and Ferreters Monthly Billy Trailmix looks more like a

Steve Peat of Santa Cruz Syndicate scopes out the latest line through
the moors of Scotland … not quite. The natural track in La Bresse
has really thrown the cat among the pigeons with lines continuously
changing … but Old Skool as always leads the way.
