Full steam ahead!

Those kind souls who took an interest, sent good wishes and recovery tips following my achilles tendon injury last summer, may be pleased to hear that the injury passed its pre-holiday fitness test at the Sno!Zone at Milton Keynes today.

I stood at the top, a little apprehensively, dropped in and the next thing I knew I was at the bottom with a big grin, like this :D

Skied for about 90 minutes - with no ill effects.

So it's full steam ahead for Zwieselstein very early on Monday morning.

Great. No wonder you had a big grin.

Enjoy!

Congratulations Lota :thumbup:

Have a great holiday! :D :D :D

Edit
I suppose I'd better add you to the list of who's going ski-ing next week, then, in the 'sleeps till ski time' thread :D

Maybe it would have been a shorter list if I'd done one of who ISN'T going ski-ing next week :wink:

In a fridge? Awesome!

I hope you thoroughly assessed aspect, exposure and snowpack evolution... :wink: 8)

But seriously... glad to hear all is well; I'd guess a nice, supportive ski boot is a good place for a recovering Achilles tendon.

Many thanks!

Yes, I dug a pit and assessed the layers with a credit card!

You may well be surprised at how little they seem to need to maintain that status )
