Had a excellent day today after the carnage of the Hat party last night. Good night boozing and then spent the morning flying down the mountain on little go cart things for the leuging. Me, Rich and Mike were racing and these German dudes started playing dodgems so we brought on the pain. Cue for much ramming of the krauts and vicotry for the good guy's :)) Wicked fun and quite cheap so recon that we are going to have a rally with all the lads on Sat morning.

Went for the fly by wire thing this evening which was awesome. managed to get mine up to 161.5 km/h which was the fastest of the group and only 9 km/h slower than the record. basically it is a surf board with handlebars that you are strapped too with a massivo fan attached to the back that you can steer with . You are towed up the side of the hill then dropped and have to steer the plane through the swing gaining momentum while you swing. Got a free t-shirt as well and some savage pics :))

The boys are off for a sky dive tomorrow morning and think that i might go shopping as most of my clothes are falling to bits and have loads of admin to do (washing, etc). But might see about the canyon swing which is the highest in the world. Don't worry though dad as it's not a bungy. Basically a giant swing accross a canyon.

Watch this space...
