OK, so it’s Winterclash this weekend. Officially it’s a 2 day skate event in Eindhoven, Netherlands, but for many it’s already started. UK skaters and and those visiting the UK for the recent Laced competition have been starting to make their way over to the continent. Though many have chosen to fly through Amsterdam and take the opportunity to savour the delights of the capital, I’m treading a different path. Roadtrip. Leaving late on Thursday I’ll be driving to the event via the Channel Tunnel and then through France and Belgium before hitting the Netherlands.
Unfortunately as a result I’m going to miss the pre comp session (Thursday 18:00 – 23:00, 5€ entry fee). However this is going to allow me to take my skates, cameras, laptop, and pretty much whatever I want, and travel in style and comfort. As such there really is no excuse if I come back without a decent set of photos, and maybe even a few Go-Pro clips. I’ll be there throughout the competition and of course at the parties. See how the cream of skating get their groove on…
For all those going, remember to dress up warm as it’s going to be a cold one that’s pretty much guaranteed. So, this time in 2 day’s I should be heading under the channel. Hope to see a few faces over there…
