At this rate we are going to end up at Badminton without a prep run! First, Tweseldown cancelled. Then I withdrew from Goring as were 594th to go of the weekend and I knew the ground wouldn't suit him - post event reports confirmed my suspicions. Now SOE have cancelled and I'm left with only Hambleden before Badders - that's assuming I survive the ballot and it doesn't get cancelled! I have bravely entered the 100+ too having assumed we would get a couple of runs before then - oh dear - straight in at 100+ we go (having never done one before!) - guess good practice for Badminton. We haven't had a run since beginning of September last year - not panicing at all!
So, today we went to Tweseldown for some schooling. He is just the most fun ever - bombed round over much more technical stuff than we're going to find in any 100 - great Badminton practice. No naughty left run outs - he dumped me in my lesson with Chris Burton on Wednesday - that wasn't embarassing at all! Acute left angled upright, 2 strides after a right angled one, all of about 2ft6 and he was in a perfect position to jump and just ran down the fenceline throwing me over the top. He is so cheeky. Chris couldn't believe he even bothered to do it having watched us jump round a 1m25 course at Coombelands a few weeks ago! He got on and made sure he knew his job - he was certainly on the ball today - let's hope it lasts!
