Great read!

Apologies for the lack of pics, I’m on a campsite in Wales and don’t seem to have enough internet for image uploads! Glad you enjoyed the article.

Cheers Hanna , that was worth the read

Thanks for that. A very good article I thought.

yup, I’d second (or third / forth) that!

It’s gonna do wonders for Tahnee’s confidence after her issues, so great seeing the her, Louise and Jess taking it on, and the other girls, sorry I’m not more informed on who they are but hugely impressed.

Great read… Thanks lots… 🙂

Rachel snapped her achilles landing a jump much smaller than anything on Hardline I very much doubt she would take the risk as her achilles is still going to be weaker than before.

Great article… very interesting background information which I would have otherwise missed .
