One of the main reasons we went for the whole day, Is that I know the first couple of hours will be about the equipment and and how to do the very basic stuff. Hopefully in the second half of the day we can get a bit further on with every thing fresh in our heads.
We are staying over night and depending on how our legs are we will go again in the morning and have a mess about on the main slope.
Defiantly holding off buying my own gear for a while. One thing I will be buying is wrist and ass guards. She had a bad fall on her coccyx a few years ago and has never been right since. I'm not up for that so,will do anything to protect my ass!
