Day 1

The pride of Britain (and NZ)

So yesterday was a scrub as the weather was just too stable. The temperature peaked at 39 degrees so the only place to be was the pool and very nice it was too

Today, Tuesday was Day 1 and the weather was goooooooood. A 15 knot Westerly had all the ridges humming and therms were peaking in excess of 11knots at times. I had a very pleasant run round at 134kph and only got mildly scared once or twice. The embarassing fact that a Duo Discus ran round at 152kph is to be ignored thank you. Ben came second in the standards so all in all the Empire Team put up a good show. More again tomorrow please!
