Getting Ready for the Euro's
The team clothing has arrived today for the European Championships and I’ve had a ‘catalogue modelling’ moment - what do you think?

Bishops Castle
We are staying in a 1 bed apartment in Bishops Castle which is a small village that is very artisan. It has 7 pubs and 2 breweries which is great for me as real ale is close to my heart. The house was built in the 1500's and is situated over the road from a live music pub.
We are staying in Clun apartment at The Porch House – built in the year Shakespeare was born!
The Boot Tree
On the way back from the task we came across this strange tree in the middle of nowhere.
Second day - 5 in goal / Rain on the Third Day
The second day saw 5 in goal which was a 50km race to anywhere. A few landed 5k short one of which was Gordon. It was the later guys that made it but all said if they were 20 mins later they would have had a cloud street to follow!
3rd day and we have thunder storms this morning and rain showers forecast all day so it is canned so it’s a sightseeing day. Doris and I went to Clun to the Green Man Festival ~ had a pint, a fresh pastie from the local butcher, a watch of 2 guys trying to kill each other with swords and a walk round the castle ruins.

second day and we race 50k to any where ~ Well, some do
2-3hours of soaring then the sun tries to get out and I go with a 1-up and land 14.5k from takeoff. The task was a race to 50k. The others flew over my head 20mins later and then a street set up from the hill for a long way. Not flown for 6 months so it was good to be off the ground.
The task will be done, I’m sure! Rain forecast for tomorrow.
Doris has just arrived to collect me – my very efficient ‘driver’ along with the hellp of tom tom!

try again!
Union of south africa steaming into pickering station on the north yorkshire moors railway. Taken with n95 a few weeks ago on my bike ride through the moors national park and the stokesley tt which i will blog on later when i get my gps strapped on.
test from n95. Comp starts tomorrow
A quick test from my phone to see if all works well as i aint done it before. We have the first round of the british open comp tomorrow which is a 5day comp based near the long mynd and is cat 2 so maybe a few wr points for some. If we fly that is?
