epic 49
What a crazy 48 hours. I finished work at Wombledon's ladies singles on Saturday evening and went straight up to Hampstead heath to indulge in several silly Zombie hunting excercises. We were issues guns, night sights and given objectives such as rescuing a VIP from a zombie infested zone. One of them even had a detachable hand that he'd throw at you to 'infect' non zombies.
The game ended with 8 humans armed to the teeth (with Nerf guns)in a circle defending their base against 50 approaching wailing undead folk. Exciting stuff!
The next day was my 'Red Letter Day' Segway Rally. The Segways were an amazing ride, particularly once they 'unlocked' the full power of the accelerator. Due to the mechanical failure of 2 out of the 6 units, I have been given another free voucher for two people :-).
Yesterday, I drove (with one of my mates) to Stoney Cove to try out my new dry suit. I had a couple of great dives, but for the second, I forgot to do up the main zip across the shoulders. As I entered the lake, with 15 Kg of lead around my middle and my fins not on yet, I very nearly sank without a trace. Luckily my buddy dragged be back out. So I emptied out my 'dry' suit, wrang out my 'fluffy warm fleece' and got back in. It was a bit chilly with a wet dry suit, but we found a good amount of sunken hardware over the next 40 mins, hidden on the lake floor. My favourite was a decrepit Wessex helicopter.
I came out fairly near frozen- but I have learned my lesson!
