sun, sea and scabies.
here are just a few words about our trip to Guernsey. it happened over a year and a half ago and I can’t remember much, but this should sum it up.
Mr J Bisson of atbmag fame had organised a big-ramp style event to compliment the Guernsey Live 08 music festival. Basically it was a big excuse to get us over there and see us again, which was cool. There were a few bmxers too, they were pretty sound, and performed some quite frankly downright absolute belters. They probably spent more time bowling than riding to be honest.
Typical to form, J had blagged the scaffolding to an uber cheap price, and also typical to form, it was as solid as laurie kaye riding an elephant. The landing was nice and wide, and the rollin was proper mellow so it was super easy to ride switch (watch video). We did have a bit of an extension if we wanted the gap bigger, which we did later on. Enough about riding, I’d figured if you have visited this website you would now we talk more about what deals we got in Asda. This write up is no different.
Facts about Guernsey
A) Firstly, the cows in Guernsey produce the BEST MILK EVER. It indeed is a sweet nectar which many mere mortals will not get to enjoy. Seriously though, your missing out if you call yourself a fan of milk. From where we got this milk was a sweet little bakery which did some damn good cakes.
B) Everyone drives a Bedford Rascal (cruelly re-branded as a Piaggo Somethingorother)
C) Local cider is called Rocket, gets you smashed.
D) Speed limit is 35mph pretty much everywhere, kinda sucks.
Tom couldn’t ride as his leg was still gammy, so he proceeded to do 10bph (ten beers an hour). On the Saturday night we went in the sea, unfortunately this was where the sewage came out apparently, and I think I got scabies from it, which went to Joe, Tuai, then Tom over the next few months. Can’t remember much else really, thanks to J, Anni, Maisie, Tilly and Harry, but mostly thanks to the Guensey cows for opening my mind.
Yours truly, Pume xx
