Well we're over the first hurdle and 'en route' to Serre Chevalier as we start the school's first A-Level PE ski trip. Having nine motivated, talented skiers convinced Miss Hookway & myself to forego our Exeat weekend for 2 1/2 days on the slopes. The snow has been good this season and the weather forecast is reasonable, so I woke up at 4.15am today ready and raring to go. Convincing my wife to get up at the same time in order to drive the minibus and drop us at Stansted was not easy, but I promised her it would only be half an hour and she could get back to bed. Unfortunately Ben G had other plans and didn't wake up until 4.55am! Cue a very disgruntled Mrs Bury and an impromptu early-morning raid into Deacon's from Taylor & Harrison.
However we were able to make the flight and as I write this we are somewhere over France heading for Turin and hopefully a quick transfer to Serre Chevalier and an afternoon warming up the legs in resort. As ever with RyanAir I am unable to sleep as they only have enough legroom for people up to hobbit height so I am trying to distract myself from the increasingly regular cramps in both legs.
Next update [hopefully] from the hotel.
