Goblin VSU in Switzerland, Thursday 9th August 2001

Thursday was another early start, but this time to catch the bus to go white water rafting. The smelly, soggy wet suits which were issued, suited some of us better than others and ensured a few laughs before we'd even caught sight of the river! Although a few of us were slightly nervous of this activity, everyone had an excellent time and fortunately no one took a swim in the extremely cold glacial river (but I think we all came close!) Once we'd returned to Ruedy-Hus, the rest of the afternoon was spent organising the evening entertainment.........
That evening we joined other groups staying in the area and attended a Swiss evening at a restaurant in Engstligenalp. A meal was followed by some entertainment. Yodelling ensued (!), but Goblin VSU stole the limelight with a rendition of Banzai, the Channel 4 game show. With Uggie presenting challenges which included 'Who's got the hairest legs?' we couldn't fail but to impress. Nice one Uggi!
