Meet the team

Here's a breakdown of who is going on our trip:

Name: Jack
Age: Nearly 8
Interests: Football, wrestling, stunt biking, pizza and anything involving cheese
Dislikes: Washing his hair, bedtime and height restrictions
Specialist skills: Proficient kayak pilot and daredevil
Main role on trip: Adventure/water park tour guide. Jack will sniff out the most nail biting and scary rides for us to try.

Name: Harry
Age: Nearly 12 going on 30
Interests: Football, darts, tennis, snooker (in fact all sports)
Dislikes: Homework and clipping his nails
Specialist skills: Advanced Kayak pilot and translator
Main role on trip: As the family member who has visited France and Spain most recently (school trips), Harry will act as translator. He's also going to be much better than a tour guide at the Nou Camp with all his knowledge and stats.

Name: Kerry
Age: Never mention a ladies age! (but she's older than she looks).
Interests: Facebook, friends and family, zumba, chocolate and wine
Dislikes: Chocolate and wine leading to a need for zumba
Specialist skills: The ability to know which direction we should be going in despite no map, no sat nav and no previous experience of the location. Also has an uncanny ability to know a slightly better way of completing any given task approximately 5 seconds after you have done it. Is also by far the most compassionate member of the team and can always sniff out interesting things to do. Always ready to pull up her sleeves and have a go.
Main role on trip: Navigator, co-driver and personal dresser for team members 1 and 2.

Name: Chris
Age: 41
Interests: Football, travel, motorcycles and adventure
Dislikes: Bananas, arrogance, dangerous drivers and soap operas
Specialist skills: The ability to know which direction we should be going in by use of maps, sat nav and asking locals who have very good knowledge of the location. Is also good at finding people with the right specialist skills to get a job done properly. Is a big follower of the P principal. Prior preparation & planning prevent p**s poor performance
Main role on trip: Driver, co-navigator, co-translator, camping advisor and chef

Thats all for this blog. The next will probably be just before the off. But take note:

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.
