Water condition for this weekend / 2

So the water is slowly dropping the tardis is back in though not as big as it usually is. A little more rain is due, but fingers crossed all will be good for the event.
Keep checking the right hand side of the site for daily updates.

Water situation for this weekend at HPP

So the rain on Sunday has raised the water levels considrably at HPP, not to mention the water quality is pretty bad too.
The Tardis is washed out and muncher is very small.
The 2nd selection event for the British team is planned to be held in the tardis on Saturday, at this rate it looks like the tardis could be washed out and they may have to look for an alternative feature. The forcast is not looking good for this week, let's hope the level drops before the weekend.
I'll keep this updated.

Brit Champs wrapped up

The British championships and the first GB team selection event is over.
The event went well, and with the introduction of the boater x, extreme slalom, old dogs freestyle and the novice freestyle, all in all it made for a great weekend.
The finals of the Brit Champs saw some great rides, with huge air loops and even some new combo moves.
