Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments. Thanks to Den for the editing.

Without it being organised and without the attendants there wouldn't be anything to write about so thank you all.

It was a great weekend with superb presentations, great people to train with, to eat with and to talk to. The little adventure with the airplane added to the experience, like salt and pepper add taste to a meal.

Thank you all very much.

Here is a link for the people who are intrested in the "hobbitfeet" for the barefootrunning :-)

The size thing seems a bit complicated but for the people who would like a sunny trip to Spain or Italy I am sure no wife will object :-)

Kind Regards,

Nick Engelen

Good review Nick. I do like the regular use of female related situational awareness in your travels!

In Belgium you can check them at some AS Adventure Store:

It's where I got mine...

This makes me remember a seminar with Fred Perrin where I wore them... The top of my feet ache for 3 weeks after demoing with him during this one! LOL

Hi Rod,

Thanks

You see everyone can come over for some shoes and delicious Belgian beers. The wife won't mind as you promise to bring many chocolate and maybe some lace from Brugge.

Seriously it seems some specialised shops sell them too so I am sure there are also dealers in the UK.

Kind Regards,

Nick Engelen

Ps Rod, which seminar was that as I didn't notice you wearing that kind of shoe.

It was Fred's last ACDS seminar in Paris... It was in a new dojo that ask us to wear only shoes for indoor sports or being barefoot...
You were not there for once... ;-)

Take care,

Rod

Hi,
I would have posted here earlier but have just got back from 3 weeks away in the sun without the internet!
Thanks very much to Den and all the others who helped make it happen.
It was as good as always to catch up with people and have a great day of training. It sounds like I missed a good day on the saturday.
The scenario at the end of the day was one of the best I have ever done - thanks Si and Pete.
