I am now on my way to Ukraine.  We stopped off on the way and spent the night at a hotel to break up the journey.  Much better than driving from Lincoln and then jumping onto a plane.

No problem checking my baggage through and all I can hope for is an on time arrival, as my connection in Ukraine is very tight, I only have 55 mins to re check my bags and get on another plane.

The site looks good, you check it out from my link below

Today we did some filming for the BBC.  A show that will air a week on Saturday.  We had a good day and hopefully the footage will come out good.  Thankyou felicity for organizing a great afternoon.

A great tournament at the 3 sisters lake in Wigan.  Our team in the Pro Am cam 2ND!!  A fantastic achievement.  To get the placements you not only had to ski but also Clay pigeon shoot, and go-cart to earn points for your team.  I hit 9 out of 12 clays and put up some respectable lap times.  We had a great day, my team was Paul McDonald and John Wilkinson.

It was quite a hectic day for me.  I had just flown from Korea where the final world cup stop was held, and that same day I had a practice ride and jumped straight into the go-cart.  To say I am knackered now after 3 rounds of slalom also would be an understatement, I can't straighten my arms properly.

The eventual winner of the main event, the pro event, was Will Asher with 4 buoys at 10.25m.  A very short line and a very tough score to beat.

we are now back at Lincoln, where I shall be preparing myself for the 2010 Ukraine open, I leave next Wednesday for my final big event of the year
