Hoylake Lifeboat Open Day


Sponge

Recommended Posts

Hey fellas. Went to the Hoylake lifeboat open day today with my mum.

Grabbed a lot of pics as you may well see. Unfortunately, though, the weather went British on us and the Red Arrows (RAF equivalent to the Blue Angels) had to be called off half way though. I had a couple more spaces on the card for some pics, so I resorted to car snaps :D

 

Anyways, here goes!

Train there:

Hovercraft coming to see us (The very same hovercraft that ran me over on it's first outing)

And one when the Hovercraft took off (literally!) Threw me off my balance!

Hovercraft ran you over?!

Please elaborate, i feel like having a laugh :D

 

Well. True story, I tell ye! I was on the beach with my mate having a tiny airsoft war I ran behind the other side of some rocks and to my amazement, saw this massive hovercraft hurtling towards me, dived out of the way and got clipped on my foot! It wasn't properly being run over, but I did get hit by it. Scared the crap outta me, but it was still a mega funny occurence. My friend has never let me forget it :/

Any real serious injuries? Like a shattered ankle, broken ligaments or even insanity?
