PT

[Far from home]

So how did the PT go then?

[DesignatedDriver]

Well folks - just in the door.

for those poor few that missed the PT '05 - unlucky. it was a mighty event.

We were eased into the mountainside with a selection of courses, which while not technically impossible, were certainly physically demanding.
Day two was a typical scottish summer morning, and yet another challenging event. more technical than before, but this did not deter from the full body workout we had been promised!

and so to this morning - the ever important relay. an interesting use of just a few people, meant two people teams, doing a figure of eight - handover at the twist. The area was water logged (see day two) but highly visible - certainly a spectator event! a small mistake at the first control (yes, in full view of all spectators!) meant i was a good ten minutes down. but my second leg made up for that....

Folks - to the dedicated few, my prize is just inside the front door, awaiting the return of my "wife" - lets just say she will be surprised!!!

Brooner, Pyrat and Wattok - a big thanks for a great weekend! Fantastic camping and social facilities, right on the map!

Sorry kids just testing the system- it would appear not to be as far reaching as id anticipated

[brooner]

yes it was indeed Shane Lynch of Boyzone, everyone who was anyone (and amazingly that included former boyband members (although I'm not sure they count as anyone)) was at the PT. He wasn't wearing a wooly hat like that but he did however hold me off on the run in of the relay yesterday after a good battle.

He is now a physics teacher. Fact.
