Source2Sea 2010 - The Journey (Day 1)

We are pleased to report that all teams arrived safely.  There was a slight concern for the Royal Mail team, but once they'd got the right postcode for their caravan it was soon sorted - in true style the 'package' was safely delivered...if a little late!

Competition on the eve of the event was already in evidence, with the Procurement team using their well-honed negotiation skills to 'poach' members from other teams to make up the numbers for their own; whilst cross-border rivalry was being demonstrated by the Gent team who were found prowling around the stage preparation area in the hope of a glimpse of what was in store...and then claimed to be the Toulouse team when challenged! Quelle Horreur!!!

The words 'Ignore the Event Brief at your Peril' is now haunting the First Ascent team, who all arrived with no towels...but not thwarted by any challenge, the team soon resolved the problem with a a sock, a flannel, and a stray towel!  No prizes for guessing which northerner miraculously 'found' a towel...like you do in the middle of the New Forest!

With the morning now under way, all the coaches reported that all teams are in good spirits and were poised like coiled springs after their hearty breakfast...so watch this space!
