Went hovercrafting! and I highly recommend it!
Discussion
I went hovercrafting on Saturday, (hope this is ok for GG)
Went to a place in Sandwich, Kent. it was a birthday present.
We done a small tuition (corners, stop-in-the-box, slalom)
then done a few laps of a small course, it was great fun! it feels quick as you are close to the ground, but il be supprised if i passed 20mph. once you get the hang of cornering, its great fun you can acheive a massive 'drift' but the steering is completely different to your instinct, i came into a corner fast, turned in then gave it a dap of oppo once i had achieved and angle of 'over steer' this was completely the wrong thing to do, and it sent me way off course!
It didnt take long to get the hang of it, you use your body weight to steer the handle bars are there just as a guide! (i noticed 'larger' people had more control of the steering)
It was a great day out and i highly recommend it if you have not been before. if you have been how did you find it?
Id quite happily do this again!
