So the long awaited Tully training weekend finally arrived…
Friday night – we were all happily on our way up to Scotland when ‘I am Ledger’ calls us to ask for a lift because his car has broken….it was too late for that so we expect to see him the next day. The snow starts to fall but no fear for Tees Tigers because we had fancy lodges; they had showers and everything.
Saturday – Up early for a “technique” session… very technical it was indeed. Next it was a halves session – good effort all round in very, very cold temperatures!!  Still no sign of “I am Ledger.” Anyway it was back to the lodges to thaw out for the evening and watch some TV where we learned that chicken salad is in fact the UK’s favourite sandwich – who would have known….?
Just before bed “I am Ledger” himself casually strolls in apparently unfazed at the idea of driving 4hrs for 2 sessions….good work!
Sunday – canoeing, tea with toffs (with special guest appearance from Lenny) and then some more canoeing.  Slightly warmer I seem to remember.
All in all a fantastic weekend – massive thanks to all who organised it and looked after the less organised individuals such as myself…
