Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Ah the wonders of interactive. While those on an ordinary aerial watched eventing, interactive and web viewers saw all the runs almost live. (The web was about ten seconds behind the interactive) If you want to watch the finals tomorrow, Nick/Stu and Campbell after that, BBC1 Interactive lets you go...

Well I enjoyed watching first runs on the BBC. Wonderful the interactive options, all available on line while we are at 'work'.

Go to BBC.CO.UK select watch/listen to BBC Sport, and look at the options.

Methinks the odd scot might make comments about 'driving for 6 hours' :angry: that is a short drive for most of them! Suprise there are not many scots at the Llandysul Div1 - would you drive from Inverness to Dysul? Bringing prejudice/stereotype to the fore, (and putting on flame proof clothing): :(...

Linton Locks many, many years ago. Blazing hot weather, wonderful course, relaxed organiser, good paddling, good company and general fun. :D Only drawback was if you capsized you had to roll VERY quickly, it was such fun swimming the course, that loads of people jumped in to 'help' you seconds afte...

Steve, you must be getting old - we met at Ironbridge. . . er . . .um well quite a long while ago, several years ??? . OK so I did not recognise you on the water. . . Suppose I must have been concentrating a bit. Sorry, will try to chat more next time. Congratulations to Bern Cole - 27 years in Div ...
