Life is a rollercoaster

Wheeeee - been neglecting the blog of late - had a weekend away at Alton Towers at the start of the month. Excellent fun - stayed in the AT hotel so got into the park before general admission, and had ridden Nemesis 4 times by 10am (my full english breakfast stayed down, somehow... ;) Rest of the day was great - rode 'Rita - queen of speed' twice - 0-100kph in 2.5s is quite a thrill!

Almost finished TAF - spent very little time on it - but have finally broken out the dremmel and made a new chair bracket from a metal offcut I had lying about. (Busted orig bracket on the left)


Very quickly learnt that I need a better dremmel - my no-brand rechargeable one no longer holds enough charge to do even the simple cutting/drilling required for this job. Gonna invest in a mains powered one... Eventually finished - here's the bracket in all it's glory before the electric chair toy was mounted back on top.


Still haven't managed to make it out to take any 'proper' photo's. So here's the kids on the log flume (where logs are now replaced by bathtubs...) from AT.
