Our first trip to Glentress and I'm certain it won't be our last. The weather
was favourable even for January, all the accidents were minor and infrequent.
Simon R. took a well deserved prize for comedy fall of the day when he noticed
too late the drop off at the exit of a bridge; he braked and somersaulted over
the bars, uttering a stream of profanity as he flew through the air, a trick he
kindly reprised in the Ewok Village for the benefit of the camera.

Health and Safety act is more far reaching than we thought, who could have imagined riding down a scottish hillside could be dangerous? |
