Well done to everyone for sticking 2 fingers up to the arctic weather and lousy transport, and getting on with the business of turkey-burning dynamics. Mariette, Laura, Ed, Nick, Chris, Fred and Mark all highly commended.
And a mention must go to the person who managed to produce a discipline that can only be described as synchronised aquatic skiing. It's difficult to describe, so I think I'll have to video it and put it on YouTube. Well done Laura.
