A good point well made.

This maybe a stupid question, but how come Princes does not have an Unofficial forum on here, please feel free to abuse me as I am a newbie :-)

Ooh this could get interesting. I love a forum dust up! Lets hope he responds.

Dont remember him being a skater, not sure how many people have metal horns coming out of their helmet, but a couple of staff members said he was renound for kicking up a fuss with JB

Also that Metal gate is a good idea, but the problem is on a sunny day when the queue is big and you spend you last 15mins of your ticket in the queue then the gate wont let you in.
Princes give you an extra 30 mins on ure time due to the queues and changing time, which is generous

Sorry confusion with the skating, that was Darryl who is a senior citizen, (note political correctness) who skis and skates on the cable at Thorpe. Darryl does not have a spikey helmet, but he is still cool.

Mark, no reason I dont think, It would be good for all the cables to have their own forum section.

Darryl is way too cool for a spikey helmet

I rode thorpe on thursday night and in the last 15 minutes when everyone had left, the water went flat and there was gorgeous light from the sun, i actually had fun riding cable. awesome
