We’re at a disadvantage as most of us experience little annual snow or mountain scenery.

Surely our winters are more wet, foggy and windy?

What games could we excel in in those conditions?

Cross country in the wet and wind to erect a tent in Bermuda shorts, flip flops and t-shirt?

“British”. We do get a season up in Scotland.

But quite frankly we’d take gold in moaning or self-sabotage.

Combined Gutter Puddling

Avoiding the splash of a car driving through the gutter puddle.

Splashing the contestant by driving through a gutter puddle.

Great skill required for both elements.

Points for style and level of drenching avoided/inflicted.

The 1.5cm of snow bread & milk stockpiling.

Nr Leicester

To quote an old coach.. "If ya canne ski in the wind and the rain, ya canne ski at'll!" Please excuse any stereotyping but tried to convey the accent..

To be blunt know the struggle to get to do sports almost ridiculed in our country and those who make it deserve massive Kudos!
