Bit of a rush for meeting tonight night as I was in London, so I met up with the other guys at our venue – the Tamworth Snow Dome, for an evening of tobogganing (just as the days are getting longer and the evening’s lighter and warmer what more could you want than snow!). After a quick change out of my suit, and the addition of scarf and gloves, we have a safety briefing – Penkridge Round Table, and a school party of about 50 – though they are very nice to us: “let these gents go first, one shouts to his friends who try pushing in!!”.
Then it’s onto the slope via the travelator. And it’s fab, racing down real snow, there’s a decent slope, and a steeper section to the left – which toppled Paul and Andy on one of their first runs. The first couple of runs are busy with some queuing, but then things naturally spread out and it flows quite nicely. And after a few goes the steering-by-braking becomes more natural and I get up a decent speed. Really was an entertaining evening. Back to the village a swift pint at a busy Littleton Arms, then over the road for a very decent meal at Wing Fat’s.
