With
the hill descent out of the way we head off to the next obstacle, the
"ski jump"...
Again,
a little instruction and guidance from Dave Lovelock was required. With
the little drizzle we had, the trail got a little slick but nothing
serious. You could sense a little apprehension run through the group
as everyone stood at the top of the hill listening to Dave (and peering
past him to see the trail drop down) but as a true leader, Dave demonstrated
the line and technique required to descend the skip jump but not before
he whispered to the photographer, "I hope I don't mess this up
and freak everyone right out!".
Needless
to say, Dave showed perfect technique and all worries were put aside...until
the first truck came down. Trevor (a Land Rover customer and now club
member) in his Range Rover Sport was the first to tackle the ski jump
and things got a "little" squirrely. The rear end of his RRS
got a bit sideways and his truck went for a bit of a slide almost giving
everyone a clear view of why this section was called "ski jump".
Ok,
who's next??
