"Everybody remember where we parked..." So up at 03:00am and to wonderful Stansted airport - at least there is a Pret and they do hot porridge
It turns out I will be seeing a lot of this in the future (as the EMA flights to WRO are now at a sensible time on a Monday morning... something over 70 flights so far this year and there is still December to go.
A little detour via the Saab Bilmuseum and a very very nice restaurant next door
The X-box generation are not impressed
This is THE Stig's* SAAB 99 Turbo
"Ursaab" - that being Saab car number #1
Sensibly the Swedes save space by building military aircraft runways into trunk roads
Welcome to Räda
The Western Region Night Radio Orienteering Championships - tricky, very tricky indeed - especially as the transmitters were wrapped in camouflage netting and then hidden under bushes - with just the small orange plastic punch visible. It was so cold my map board underwent rubber-glass phase transition and shattered...
Every trip to Lidkoping must include a visit to Kinnekulle - while we were parking 3 big Volvo police cars drove up and disgorged at least 12 police officers - if the police eat at the restaurant it is usually a good sign. In 1089 I had waffles with hjortron - no such luck this time - but that was soon corrected...
Following a short tour of Lidkoping's finest sport shops (stocked with wall to wall chav fashion - we did not have the heart to tell them the mistake they are making), Simon took me to the best cake shop/cafe in town - Garströms Konditori - reassuringly expensive - £4.50 for an open top beetroot and trimmings sandwich
Uncle Gunnar has two young dogs - 100% obedient (as long as there is the immediate prospect of food)
A surfeit of waffles - as ever Ula over-caters and we had the remainder for breakfast the next morning
