Mel's Overseas Trip
Hi All,
Well I finally went snowmobiling yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic!! I went with aussie friend Alicia and there was only 4 in our group. After a quick lesson in safety and riding we were off. These machines are very powerful. We were fine on the trail ride tracks and then we went into Marsh Lands and this was the first incident, one of the UK guys sank into the snow on his snowmobile and all you could see was the handle bars, very scary cause we were following behind him. We soon got out of there and went to a bowl of powder to play in. This was fun until we started doing 45 degree angle slopes side on. I soon found out if you were not going fast enough or was leaning your body weight the wrong way you could easily roll the snowmobile. Alicia rolled it once and me twice. We have severe blisters on our hands today. I thought the snowmobiles would be very similar to riding a jetski, but you have to keep your weight really forwards for stability and to turn them you have to throw your body weight to the side off the seat or throw one leg over and lean your whole body weight against this 500lb machine. Definetly was worth it. Today we are paying for it as we are extremely sore!! Check out the photos.
Still working hard and lazing in the hot tub. Miss you heaps
Love
