Ten out of ten for the running of the Div 1 on Sunday! Absolutely bang on time virtually all day long - it was only me who was late for my first run! But no problems with Mr Starter who even kindly gave me five minutes to settle into my boat before slotting me in! Good, clear time interval and start information too. Even the lovely ladies in Control demonstrated their keen sense of humour with a joke about paper saving......I was delighted to occupy my very own line of text this year ladies - THANKYOU! Just wish it was further up the page of course! lol.
One tiny gripe tho (c'mon, you didnt expect me to be 100% Mr Nice Guy did you?) I do think some of the poles could have been higher - some of those upstream poles were lower than they were in the 1970's! But the course was a great use of the available water, no bottoming out on the race line and flowed really well. Loved it!

I think all the pole heights were legal, it was nice to see them that low IMHO, made it a real challenge and perhaps made it a bit more even for those of us who aren't that good at necking gates!
I hit gate 13 first run, didn't do it second time. Perhaps I wouldn't have first time if I'd actually managed anything much past gate 9 on my official practice. Just shows what not knowing the course does to you. #### sneaky hiding gates 10,11 and 17 like that! Still it taught me a lesson, got it all in my head for the race!

Apologies for the delay in uploading the images from The Graveyard but life got in the way of the several hours it typically takes However, Love Mae diligently sat at water level for most of the Division 1 event on Sunday and she captured most of us in full flight. Sorry Premsters but we did not get up to Wales until Saturday evening so no images from the Saturday event. The images can be seen here:-

We were hoping to get the pleasure of shooting at the Europeans at HPP but after making noises that we were interested in this, nothing has been heard from the organisers to date We could do with some support from this community so if you like what we do, please shout and maybe organisers of various events will hear and ask us to come along
ENJOY!
