YouTube might be an option? Quality may not be brilliant. Ep2 was good especially Martin Bell sh**ting himself as he did the tyrolean.

No. Just stop p%%%sing the air crew and tour reps off!! :lol:

You've got me doing it now!
Just got in from work and thought I'd be diligent and do today's invoices and bills etc. What happens? iTunes goes on, open up t'internet to send work emails and oops I end up on here. It's infectious. I've got Facebook open on another tab aswell. Doesn't look like I'm going to make my millions if I get so easily distracted.

You're right. Just a quick wipe with a bit of kitchen roll and back in the cupboard.

I use a similar method Tony. Being a relative newbie I've no idea of the technical term. But, what I was shown to do this year was to lightly plant the pole towards the tip of my outside / downhill ski and then do a sharp turn around that point. Worked for me, just had to follow a mental mantra of plant, turn, plant, turn.

I was lucky enough during my time in the Navy to go north inside the Arctic Circle and we stopped over in Narvik. Saw the Northern Lights then. Very surreal and almost unreal kind of greeny wavy flame like light. Very difficult to describe and even TV film doesn't quite show them to the full.

Mmmm. That is wide open to re interpretation. Conjuring up some horrible images.

Oh I forgot! Made chocolate orange brownies this afternoon aswell. I am in OH's good books today.
Fair deal though, she did clean the house from top to bottom and do all the washing up for me.
