Its nearly weekend warrior time.

My creek boat is in Wales, so I went biking on the Mendips. It was good, I’m going again tomorrow.
Every year (or just about) a local dairy farmer swaps his cow sheds for stages, and herds stinky wet people about the place for a long weekend. Good thing too.
I only had a Sunday ticket, but still managed to see The National Youth Orchestra, Aqualung, Tiny Dancers, Cold War Kids, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, The Rakes, Mika, Kaiser Chiefs, Pendulum and The Chemical Brothers. It was quite muddy, I was glad of my rural training, and a decent pair of dry trousers!
It’s all over, France was a giggle as usual, and the Boater X was the jewel in the crown for me. A massive thanks to everyone who turned up, helped out, raced, gave us prizes, or got “Savaged”. I am already super keen to do the whole thing again next year, bigger, more prizes, more partying, and a return of Bar Savage. A few more photos, and some results can be found on the Boater X page here. All pics by Paul Wilkinson, thanks to him!
The next day, we were all a state.
Turns out the alps are a long way away, and take about 3kg of Haribo to get back from.
The boater X rocked, full report coming up when I am more alive, cheers to everyone who helped/raced/cheered/got naked.
It was the summer solstice on the way home, by total chance.
