Low Down but Flying High

Well it’s finally over, my birthday that is.

On the 28th July, I along with Paul visited Milton Keynes, where we visited AirKix and learnt to fly like birds, its surprising how long 60 second (1 minute) lasts when your put into an air tube and allowed to float on a draft of air at terminal velocity. Sounds easy, I suppose it is when you know what your doing.

I can only describe it as trying to float very still in the sea on your stomach while trying to keep your head above water, great fun while your trying and trying is the operative word, but still great fun and you don’t get water in your mouth.

If you fancy a parachute jump or skydiving give this a go, no jumping out of planes, no worries about parachutes not opening, just visit http://www.airkix.co.uk/ absolutely no strings attached.

Well all the water has receded up here and everyone is drinking tape water, just as well as 10% of the water bowsers have gone walk about, if you see any for sale on eBay Severn Trent would be interested. Just as we thought summer had arrived we are about to get another deluge, a months rain overnight, so fill up your water bottles and sand bags.

The shed is progressing, now with a felt roof, door and two sides clad, wont know what to do next year when I’m all finished.


Finally to all those that sponsored me on the L2B bike ride, the finally tally was £390.10 excluding the gift aid. THANK YOU.
