My Weekend So Far...!!!

So far this weekend, I have been Snowboarding, Horse Riding and ended up slightly worse for wear last night. As you saw from my last blog, I was snowboarding on Friday night. Yesterday, I went horse riding again, my eighth lesson. Riding without stirrups is bloody hard!!! As a result my legs are absolutely aching today.

Last night, purely to try and kill the pain in my legs, I decided to have a few drinks. A few turned to many and before I knew it I was drunk!! And that was just sitting in the house!!

So far this morning, I have done a little studying for my MBA but I am starting to get nervous and excited as I am going to watch the mighty reds this afternoon against our arch enemies, Liverpool!!! COME ON THE REDS!!!!

So it is off the to the pub yet again before and after the match.

Snowboarding

Last night, I went up to Xscape in Castelford, near Leeds. Xscape is an indoor Ski Slope. I have snowboarded for 6 years now, learning to snowboard in a little Swedish town called Lulea. Xscpae isn't the greatest slope in the world, but it is good for practising before you go to the real slopes.

I am off to Chamonix, France in March.

The picture on the right is of the Hannenkham in Kitzbuhel, one of the venues for the Ski World Cup. I was lucky enough to witness the Super G when I was there in January 2006. I have never been to Chamonix so if anybody has any comments or advice about good slopes, or even better good bars, get in touch.

United Winning the Carling Cup

As I am new to this Blogging thing, I am trying many different things. So, I thought I would try to add a video. The Video I have chosen is from the Carling Cup Final in February 2006 when Man Utd beat Wigan 4-0 in the final at the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff. I was there and have a nice video of the fireworks when United lifted the trophy. Click on the link below to view the video. (Hope it works!!)

MBA - Management Information Systems

Just had a quick meeting at Uni with my group for the MIS Course. This course is the reason I got into Blogging in the first place. We have created our very own Blog Site at -

Check it out and let us know what you think!

Horse Riding

I have decided that one thing that this Blog will tell the story of is my quest to learn how to ride a horse. The other thing will be my MBA, but lets concentrate on the horses.

Well, started to learn how to ride a horse about six weeks ago. I started on a horse call Dillon at Stables in Ashton, manchester. Near my home. The first lesson involved me sitting on a horse, walking and occasionally trotting. The next two lessons were at the same place, doing the same things. So, I decided to move to a new Riding School.

The new Riding School is the manchester Equestrian Centre, just off the M60 at J8. All I can say is, fantastic!! John Shaw, the teacher is a class act. I have had three lessons there, six in total now and last night I had my first canter. Scarey but fun and I can't wait for my next lesson.

it is such an amazng thing to do and really gets the adrenalin pumping. I would recommend it to anyone.

My First Blog

Well, this is my first ever blog. I got interested in blogging as I was doing my MBA at Manchester Business School. I am currently taking Management Information Systems, where our project was to create a blog. This is not the project site, it can be found at http://nakedchasmjumpers.blogspot.com/

Anyway, more from me later on.
