Unfortunately, vocational activities, other than Lesley's, don't offer much in the way of photo opportunities. We can't really publish pictures of Marie and Neil at a court hearing, so on the blog the majority of photo's will be of other activities.Above you can see the team (looking remarkably relaxed) just before skydiving from 1500 feet.
Another event we attended was "The Golden Shears", the annual sheep shearing championships.
The winning finalists took only 17 minutes to sheer 120 sheep.
We had an opportunity to try for ourselves this week. Marie was our champion, but we don't think 20+ minutes per sheep will get us far.
The Tongaruro Crossing was an incredible experience, on what turned out to be a great day.Just over 7 hours to cover almost 20Km of mountains, and all 5 made it. No prize for who found it hardest. And it's not the guy on the right!
Alex did find something more appropriate to his speed. Taking the wheel of a 100 year old paddle steamer, the Waimarie, on a trip along the Wanganui River.
'Ripcord' springs to mind though I would respectfully suggest that only one of your team would be familiar with this tv gem!?!? You all look very fit and healthy but what's with the Barbie plane? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Team
ReplyDeletethe crossing looks superb and the views must have been stunning - I guess I'll have to add it to my 'must do' list before I'm 60 - (h'mmm not much time then, hahaha)
When do you plan to land back in Glasgow? - I'll try and be there to meet you guys.
