 Arrival
back in Pangbourne meant it was time to get wet. Six in a boat was a
little excessive, as shown by the rescue of survivors from an earlier
attempt.
Sunday was a much quieter affair, with rounders on the field and the lengthy task of packing everything away, cleaning the centre and loading the minibus. Some even found time for a crafty cigarette. By Sunday teatime it was all over; just a few hours lost sleep to catch up on, and a bag of wet clothes to sort out. |
Alex adds the following: Ah, memories. You know what you've missed, though - the game everyone was playing involving gradualy knocking people out by means of putting prolongued pressure on their chest. I can't remember what it was called, but I remember it having amusing results - normally the bizarre sigh people let out as they dropped to the floor. It became quite popular at school after the trip, but I think as people began to realise how it worked, and how close they were going to killing all their friends, it soon stopped. |
