The trip- London to Fischen, Austria in the VW for 2 days testing next seasons snowboards.
After a busy Sunday in store we loaded the gear into the van and salt beef in our bellies and headed off for Dover - the first leg of our trip. Through out history LCB trips have always come with the odd hitch along the way, and this was to be no exception. Around 15 miles into our trip ( still inside the M25) the Van ran out of juice, and on an already tight schedule left me running up the hardsholder, and Pete explaining to a highly amused local plod why we were perched on the side of the road. Thankfully some kind fellow took pity on us and gave me a lift saving me a 15 mile jog.
We arrived in Dover missing our ferry by 10 minutes, leaving us a couple of hours to chill with a beer and a skate before jumping on the 2am ferry.
