"Five go ski-ing in Poland"

Actually that should read "Five go ski-ing, eating and drinking in Poland".














Introducing the (self-proclaimed) "Arse Sliding Champions of the World".















Ok, so it's not a sport that will be appearing in any winter olympics but it does require a certain amount of skill to not break a thumb, slide into an inconveniently placed tree, or disappear off the edge of a mountain. It's not a glamourous sport either as it does lead to a lot of bruising on the inner thighs.  If you are not familiar with "Arse Sliding" - it involves sitting on a very small piece of plastic (the "Arse-Plate") and sliding down a steep hill.

A lot of time was also spent fighting each other over whose turn it was to be assisted by the ski-instructor - Certain members of the group fell over more than was strictly necessary just so he had to go and rescue them.  (didn't you, Wendy?)

2009 - Morocco

Travels of 2009 started off with a camel trek in Morocco - nice and warm you'd think..not so, it was cold and wet (warning to future fellow travellers - I have the power to make it rain anywhere)  .....and the camels dribbled -a lot!
