Peter Wright said… - G'day Damien. Thanks for the message. Glad to hear your keen to keep moving in the world of ballooning! It can be hard sometimes.
We are well, Izzy is 11 months old now and is a little ripper, thanks for asking.
As far as the comp training goes, it is something which Paul Gibbs and I are working on, as yet, apart from some rough dates, there isn't a lot I can tell you. Paul is o.s. at the moment and has been since New Year, he's due back in about a week. When he gets back and is settled in to life again, we will start hatching our plan. I know that The Lake near Mildura in June will be a major part of what we are doing.
Keep your ear to the ground, I will make a note that you are keen and hopefully I'll be able to send you some stuff a little further down the track.
Cheers, Pete.
