No rollercoaster but brass instead

Forgoing the opportunity to go to Alton Towers for an adrenalin filled rush, I toottled over to K2 instead! So what to do? Lovely sunny Saturday, I could go out, and join the "M north oxford cut", with the hoarding masses, or stay put and enjoy the sunshine.

Then the pontoon shuddered, and a new boat, blew straight onto it, and off fell the lady from the back counter! Early bath - we told her it was the initiation rite, and she had passed with flying colours. Apparantly the water here is not warmer than the cut - but I don't intend to test it myself!
