R and R'd and team built up

6 days until the opening ceremony, 6 days until Games begins. But this Team bus is all ready fully in motion.
For the Team GB sailing team , as for all the others, this event has started a while ago and we are now into the final stages of the build up to what many have waited all their lives to partake in and some 4 years to right some wrongs or just to make a little bit of Olympic history

We just had 3 days of R&R -  rest and relaxation and a little bit of final team building up in Reading. with a spot of Archery, Falconry (probably need to google that) and duck herding.....not just ducks but geese, white ducks, magpie ducks (might have made that up) and those tall standing really quick ducks.

Joe and Steve step up first

Much flailing of our herding sticks, failing to be able to blow the whistles at all for some and the rest not particularly well, we were back to the basic calls- think sheepdog trials that was on TV a few years ago that was us, or maybe just some well trained dogs and ducks!

Falconry resulted in us discovering there were a few bird phobics amongst us especially if the bird was to give you the evil eye or heaven forbid flap its wings - but Owl was gorgeous and falcon incredible at flying around u- even attracted a red kite to the area!

Here are a couple of other sneaky peaks behind are holding camp fun the team building and the evening entertainment....Pen Hadow was inspiring us on Thursday evening but great applause must go to the Murder Mystery characters
