| Flyboarding - strap yourself onto a board to which, through a 4" pipe attached to a jetski, water at high pressure is pumped out through twin nozzles. You "fly" on jets of water. Sheer lunacy but great fun. - Absinthekombi wrote:

It was a lot of fun. Seems tricky to get going at first - there's a very fine balance point such that you control the thing with tiny toe movements - but I was able to get up and out of the water after only a few minutes. Loved "dolphining" along and then rising up out of the water. Thoroughly recommend having a go and will be going again to get better. | |

No. Had planned on going south to the coast but one look at the traffic on the M4 and M5 put paid to that plan. Board stayed in its bag. | |

Excited?! Busy week at work ahead , staff making the most of the bank holiday and another on paternity leave for a month so thought we'd make the most of the bank holiday Monday and get her all packed up and ready to go. Also have to be at VWK on Friday morning on route to have the windscreen replaced so trying to get ahead of ourselves... But still excited of course :-) ________________________________________________________________________________ Steve, Jo TigerLily and Carra the Child lovin' Golden Cocker | |

| Well it seems our Cornwall trip in Daisy has been quite eventful. Had the fuel filler connector pipe replaced a couple of weeks ago but could still smell petrol at times. Been having a few troubles getting Daisy started too. This morning, I took the kids to Newquay, filled up with fuel on the way, Daisy wouldn't start again so bump started my way out of the garage, the petrol smell was awful by the time we parked in Newquay & called out the AA. AA man arrived & then I noticed the puddle of petrol by the rear wheel. AA man called out the fire service to make it safe! Daisy now in a garage in St Austell (we were camping in her!!), so we're currently residing in an ancient, gross caravan on the campsite / much to my daughters' disgust! Daisy in need of a new starter motor & another replacement fuel filler connector. Paul at Brand autos been very helpful in ordering one from Danbury & getting it sent straight down to the garage in St Austell. Not the holiday we were hoping for, looks like Daisy won't be ready until fri at the earliest | |

| Oh dear Sunshine Daisy. Until you've had one problematic trip, you haven't experienced the full Kombi package! Keep the faith, I'm sure you'll laugh about this one in the future. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer @brazilianvwbay | |
