Clout Training Weekend

The weather stayed good for our 2010 Clout Road Trip, with Rod, Graham, Jon and me heading off the Alton Towers for a day of...fun!?

Arriving at 1pm, our first stop was Air, a rollercoaster that gives you the feeling of weightlessness. With all of us surviving this first ride, a quick lunch stop and then off to 13, the newest rollercoaster at the park. A good ride with an excellent twist...

We then quickly joined the queue for Rita, which does 1-100km/ph in 2.5 seconds. The waits were quite long for the rides, waiting on average a little over an hour. So we all stood and laughed a bit at the poor people sat at the front of the ride who insisted on looking like they weren't phased with there hands up ready to go. They looked slightly different when the ride started though! As did we, see lovely and flattering picture below (although Jon strangely seemed to have the appearance of someone riding the teapots on every ride we went on!!).



With time running out we had a last ditch attempt to squeeze one more in and went for Oblivion, the vertical drop rollercoaster, and there was no queue! I must admit that when we were stopped at the top waiting for the inevitable drop, I realised I had reached my limit for the day and was quite pleased when we emerged out the other side.

So a fun packed adrenaline filled day was followed by a chilled out shoot the next day at Bowflights in Birmingham.

Ideas please for the 2011 Arundown road trip......
