Corinth Canal
Thursday, 11 June 2009 17:26

I went to the Corinth Canal for the first time today. It seemed like a pretty good idea, given that the service park is right alongside it. It's amazing! It's three kilometers long and 90 meters deep - it must have taken some digging! Halfway through the canal, there's a bungee jump off one of the bridges - I wouldn't have minded having a go, that would have kick-started the adrenalin before the first stage tomorrow. I don't think the team would have been too keen on me jumping off a bridge, though...

It was good to go out and see some history for once. It's easy to get a bit bogged down in the World Rally Championship; it can be really intensive: airport, recce, shakedown, rally, airport, home. We visit some awesome places over the course of the season and, when we're not travelling at 100mph, it's nice to be able to take in a bit of culture.

That's all the culture for now, though. From tomorrow morning it's pedal to the metal for me.

Talk to you soon.

Ciao,

Conrad.
