At Arcs 2000 we had lunch with the Paddle family. Brilliant food and company for what was to be our last day skiing of this holiday.

What on earth was I going to write about? Then we discovered the ski jump with a balloon landing area. "Can I go on it" asked Patrick. And he did it three times. Great fun.

I must not forget to note my 'another' mega wipe out. This time at the end of number 2 of a three jump set (I bottled on the third). The main thing is that the wipe out happened right in front of Patricia's camera. Probably not as spectacular as it sounds but felt somewhat stupid.
