Hi All,
If you have not done this course then it is to be recommended, as from a Health and Safety point, it is superb.
I had some grumpy old sod called Baloo, who runs a G4 Defender amongst other things, and all he kept on about was 'get off my ropes' 'ropes live', 'stop dragging my ropes around' and 'is that 30 metres' ? Oh, my hand signals to the driver were 'rubbish' - was I trying to taxi a plane ??
On a plus note, all the winching kit came in an Orange / Black bag and I nearly got it - but he is a sneaky devil, and his eyes were everywhere.
To give him some credit, he took us to the Obelisk section and let my companion go 'swimming' - but he had to chops - 'watch that bloody bow wave'. (He let me do my 'swimming' at the wicker section)
All in all great day out, food was great, people great. - Thanks to all - including J.P.
That's it for a week now, as we are off to Ireland in the Orange machine - sailing from Pembroke Dock about 1.30am in the morning. - no, I'm not taking the Kayak, or the Bike.
Cheers,
Tony
