Next trip(s) planned!

Hoorah! 

We’re managing to get things sorted. We still can’t leave the UK for long (for reasons that will soon become apparent, and no, nothing to do with the Police!).

We’re off to Scotland on 8^th August via Tamworth for a few days snowboarding practice, then continue north to spend some time in  Edinburgh for the festival, go to the Military Tattoo, and also to British Touring car championship at Knock hill.  Then we’ve actually got a voluntary job at an animal rescue place where we’ll spend a week offering our services as well as spend time in the local area which we’re looking forward to.

Then home for a week or so, then off to the south of France for a month or so before coming back in October for the Snowboard show – and I may also have a job for a week.  Also got to sort out the van MOT, insurance and tax which is quite difficult from afar!

After that – things will get more interesting – watch this space.... J

 

My new toy!

I decided I've been working so hard I deserve a new toy. Okay - that may be open to some debate considering I've only done around 15 days in the last year - but even so - Mel agreed! Most excellent toy - half the fun is repairing it!

Its a eSky HoneyBee FP LiPo 4-channel radio controlled helicopter. Really is a good piece of kit!

Wakeboarding and WMSki Cable Lake in the Cotswolds

Yet again, we had an excellent long weekend at the WMSki cable wakeboarding lake in the Cotswolds. But for a change we went in a heatwave rather than constant rain.

We went with friends, Gowry & Tim, and pushed each other to do some new things. Mel completed a whole lap and vastly improved in the corners. She does need to hold tighter with bent knees on launch though – nag nag nag. The boys were all learning to do a “surface 180” and ride in switch, with us all completing at least half of the corners in switch. Next time it’ll be a whole lap in switch!

It was good to see the old gang there too – they really do try and look after you. We heard other people comment “There is no one-upmanship here” “Everyone is happy to share knowledge” – so keep it up guys – it makes you the friendliest boarding place we’ve been to.

Till next time....
