Tarquin’s Illiad, Part II

Part 2 of the procrastinator’s tour of Italy!

We ran the sorba slides, they were really low, totally inconsequential, and quite good fun.

The next night it rained, a lot, and then rained some more. Just for good measure it carried on raining. We went to the Semenzini, which was on the high side of good. No one was feeling the love for a damn good hiding, so we wettied off, and went shopping.

Fully equipped with umbrellas, we decided it would be downright soft not to paddle something, so ventured to the Gronda, home of the Teva Extreme Race each year. This also had a substantial drop or two of water in it, but being shorter and less commiting, team exec fired it up. “Class IV, Read and Run, Survival Boating” And it was.

Hang time on the last drop of the Gronda. Pic Sarah Nash 

Finally it stopped raining, and we made it onto the Semenzini, but revision calls, so that is a story for another day…
