Did you know that Canada is the source of all bad weather that happens world wide?
At least it seems that way. When we go south in the United States, we get blamed for bad storms due to some polar vortex or Alberta Clipper wreaking havoc on the sunny south.
Now, in the UK, we are being blamed for a terrible surge of rainy weather due to the dredges of a hurricane coming off the coast of Canada. (Really? We are responsible for rain in the UK?)
Fortunately, being the tough, resilient, and resourceful Canadians that we are, we are prepared for hurricane conditions (did I mention the amount of luggage we brought?), since there was a hurricane the last time there was a world trial as well. (Wait, we were here that time too, maybe we are responsible?!?!)
Today was a bit of a day off due to the weather, but we did find out the good news that Mary Lou did very well at one of the trials yesterday, finishing second only by a point to the legendary Aled Owen.
The sun did break thigh the clouds for a moment at the end of the day, I don't think I would ever tire of looking at this valley...
Tomorrow will either be a training day or a trial day, we haven't decided yet, and the weather may decide for us. Apparently 100 km winds are expected...I'm sure they are from Canada! ;)
We also are adapting to the driving and the roads. Our walking paths are wider than many Welsh roads.
Who would be crazy enough to drive a caravan (trailer) here? We've had a couple of close calls just in the car! More news tomorrow!
