Bungee jumping

I’m having a bit of an extreme week this week. After finishing fifth on the Acropolis Rally of Greece on Sunday – which, with temperatures of 40 degrees and roads littered with rocks the size of footballs to dodge or take your chances with, was pretty extreme in itself – I went  bungee jumping.

Some of the engineers from the Citroen Junior Team and [Sebastien] Ogier, another one of the drivers, went down and had a go at the jump off one of the bridges over the Corinth Canal. It was good. I’ve done a bungee before at home in Zimbabwe, but that one was a big higher. Having said that, when you’re standing looking down at nothing but fresh air, I reckon all of these bungees look pretty high up!

After the bungee, there was a bit of an impromptu Citroen Junior Team party – that was extreme in another way!

And then, with a bit of a hangover, it was back to London for some more training before the next event in Poland. That extreme theme continues today, though;  I’m going rock climbing tonight. There’s a bit of a twist, though, this is rock climbing in central London.

I’ll stick another blog up in the next couple of days to keep you posted on whether I’ve become an avid rock climber or not...
