Just got married: 10 years, 3 kids and now rings. We went away for 3 nights on our own, no computer, no calls, no children. Our third break together in 10 years. Magic.

Adrenalin Quarry now has a life (and a mind) of it's own, we have a great team but most of all it's the people who walk through the door: they love it and it shows.

It's built, open, working. I have to pinch myself sometimes just to make sure it's real. The vegetation on the cliffs and around the Quarry is lush, rampant, out of control. Every colour you can think of bursts out of the cliffs when the sun comes out, everything in blossom at once. We'll have to trim the growth close to the North Cable as green leaves almost reach the feet of riders on The Zip as they barrel off the launch platform into clear air. God I Love it.

The Lake is teeming with life, mad with it. Teeny little strange wiggly creatures bomb around the shore up to their teeny strange creature business. Mad weed hanging off the Buoy ropes marking the safe edge of the hovercraft runs, seabirds, ducks, you name it we got it. Canada geese, rabbits (not usually in the lake), buzzards, peregrines. They all seem unfazed by the hovercraft, apparently it's because the machines make very little wake. I think it's because ducks like hovercraft.
