Andorra Ski Trip

My first ever ski trip. Andorra 1987.  No lessons.  No sun cream.  No idea.  Great laugh.  Here's Jimmer and Neal hacking down the late season piste.

Soaking up the rays...Les, Jimmer, Neal, Phil, Mike and Mark...

The combination of red hot Andorran sun and no sun cream made one very red Philler...

That's me and Mike on our first ever ski run...a Red!  We didn't stay up right for long.

Great fun and the start of many future ski and snowboard trips.

Motor Snowboarding

Matt Horne, Mike Barham and me took my old MKI Escort up to Stoughton in the snow.  Here's Matt and me mucking about in the snow.

My 21st Birthday Party

My 21st Birthday Party in the Southbourne Sea Scout Hut at Prinsted.  Martin, Me and Mary... 

The Scout Hut.  Those lights look a bit dodgy...

John Goddard, Joobze, Alan and Paul Bick..

That's me snarling at Ruth and Gary...

Phil Coombe, Hugh and Joobze...

Jon Gamlen and Barnsley, with Dave Dell and a rather groggy looking Jimmer in the background..

Lake District - Venture Scouts

Long weekend trip to the Lake District with the Venture Scouts.  I think that is the top of Helvellyn.  Matthew Horne, Me on top, Les, Neil and Jimmer.

Camping.  No dome tents in 1986..

Cooling off in a stream after a days walking.  Les, Jimmer, Mike, Me and Neil.

The next day was rainy so we went caving.  Me and Neil.  It's was still wet down there...

Westbourne Ave Building Site

Here's Mary playing on the Westbourne Ave building site.  They didn't used to bother with health and safety in those days, so a building site was a playground...

Waterbike Race

We built a waterbike at Venture Scouts to take part in the 1982 Emsworth Water Bike Races on the Millpond.  I was selected to ride our machine.  It broke down after about 50 yds and I never finished the race.  Good fun though...

Geography Field Trip

Geography Field Trip from Warbo to the West Country(?)  Graham Henry, Me and Bonzo (Geography Teacher)

Me and my Pompey scarf.  Looking very serious...
