Well, this is just an update on how my weekend went on the 18th and 19th of July.
When I got up on the Saturday my back wasn't too good, so after talking to mum, dad and Andy we all decided that walking from Corfe to Swanage really wasn't the best thing to do. We decided to go to Stourhead instead.
Mum packed a picnic and we were off. We wondered around the house, but so I could still do a little walk for my training we also walked around the grounds. Here are some photos of us enjoying out walk.
It's about a 3 mile walk all together, which we think was just enough to enjoy the day and still not hurt myself, or so we thought.
Once we got back to mum and dad's, Andy and I got into my car to go home and my back gave out. I rested all the rest of Saturday and on Sunday when I got up my back was still bad, but easier than it was on Saturday.
I decided that I really needed to talk to Sailability. So Andy and I went down to Rockley Park to try and meet someone, but the weather was so bad they had just left. So once again we had just missed them.
Because of my back I had to take a week of work, so I couldn't even start training with Rob, which I found really hard. The doctor told me I had to rest my back and not do too much. So I had to put everything on hold.
During that week I phoned Sailability to see if I could talk to someone and get more information about them. I managed to get hold of someone and told them all about what I'm doing, and asked them about Sailability. The lady I spoke to said she could tell me all about it over the phone, I could look it up on the internet or I could come down meet everyone and go sailing with them. That way I could see for myself what they do.
So, of course I thought about it for a bit and decided to go sailing. The next day I could go was Sunday the 2nd. They said that should be fun and look forward to seeing me. That was it I was going to meet everyone and go sailing, I was so excited but also so nervous but you will have to wait and see how I did.
