I went for a little bit of a play at Hurley today. A couple of hours over lunch followed by a rather pleasant meal at the Red Lion afterwards.

It’s become painfully apparent that I’m out of practice. My efforts on the weir were somewhat sub-par despite the almost perfect three gate level and sunny weather. To add insult to injury Joe, one of the Pathfinders, came along for his first ever outing to Hurley and showed both Dave S and myself up. Well done Joe.

To further compound the wound Neil, who hasn’t been to Hurley in five years and has been off the water most of this year due to a shoulder injury, turned up and started performing cartwheels straight away.

I’m going back tomorrow morning to practice, hopefully the level will hold.
