Just seen the weather forecast and it looks not to bad west of london

We might have to bock between showers but if it is like today it won't be to bad

The beauty of bocking in this weather is the stilts keep you feet out of the flooding  :Ceek:
Hope it keeps clear for you.

Growing OLD is compulsory. Growing UP is optional. OPT OUT!

What a day  :Cbiggrin:

Thanks for staging the meet Davido had a fab time

Only 4 of us plus our Ace Photographer (Pic of me to follow if Clive dosen't delete it  :Claugh: )

Got so hot and sunny we were looking for shade and then the heavens opened and honestly I stood out in the rain to cool off  :Claugh:

Just the sort of day bocking is made for

Jason  :Hoofies2: :CGEEK:

Ps Your turn Clive  :Claugh:

Thought I'd use my first post on my shiny new forum account to say a huge thanks for making a newbie welcome at his first meet  :Cbiggrin: The tips really helped too, I'm feeling much more confident on my stilts now.

I think tomorrow I will experience first hand what rigor mortis feels like but it'll be worth it, I had a great day and I look forward to next time I can tag along :PJ101Ian:

You were doing really well mate

And that was a corker of a fall you did  :Cbiggrin:

Your always welcome to our sunday meets if you can get the time off and like I said if you get a saturday free tell us and we'll try and move the meet to the saturday

Need guys like you at the meets mate you were the only one to see my first go over the bench  :Cbiggrin: and that Clive bloke would have denied I did it if he got half a chance  :Claugh:

Only joking Clive so stay away from the delete button on Gemma's camera  :Claugh:

I don't do things by halves... I am being heckled by my darling wife who's pointed out I do do things by half as that corker only knackered one of my wrists :Ceek:

Gemma, please feel free to accidentally hit delete on any photos of my ineptitude... :Cwink:

Rob I didn't see that fall but I definitely heard it! I feel your pain with the wrists, only natural to stick your hands out when you're falling over!

Thanks Gemma for taking pics and braving the rain :P

Jason and Clive I think spent more time handing out advice an letting passers by have a go on the stilts then they actually spent bocking themselves! Two really good ambassadors for the sport!

Thanks everyone for coming down and making it an awesome day. Can't wait for the next one!

Some lovely pics in there Gemma :Csmile: Feel free to do as you wish with pictures of me crashing, I was kidding about deletion. If I make a fool of myself in a public place I can hardly complain if pictures of it turn up :Cwink:

Yep Gemma publish and be Dammed  :Claugh: as they say in the press and some fab pics there yet again and not one of my Bum this time  :Cbiggrin:

We deffo want to see that fall I mean we heard Rob hitting the ground and it was loud  :Cbiggrin: hope the wrist feels better mate

Muncher we are going to either do a home meet or a Staines meet next sunday
Probably know for sure which by wednesday so watch this space (or probably a new post)

There are benches in staines so I may get brave again  :Claugh:

Thanks David we both love seeing peoples face when they manage to walk on Bocks for the first time and it's great when someone you have started in them gets some and starts coming to meets makes you feel like you have given something really good and fun to them and made another mate to have a good laugh with
