Remember the tarp fold is as important as the run. One flip of the wrist and that tarp needs to set down in place.
Is there some kind of training DVD available ?!? 15 steps to the perfect Tarp Runner or something… 
Maybe not a DVD but definitely a You tube video. 
:lol :lol :lol
These videos are what got me started on the whole tarp running thing…
It just looks hilarious & sooo much fun!
I can’t wait to be there…
I’ve got the fold & flick down to a fine art (it’s a long waft followed by a quick snatch back … oh yes!) - now the running bit; that’s causing me great concern. Can we not set off in alphabetical order and Ill use my mother’s maiden name …
… Mrs Aardvak?
Glad to know you’ve got the fold & flick mastered 12_String! :thumbsup
Maybe you could share your knowledge and we could organise some dummy Tarp running exercices this side of the Atlantic, get all the UK Festivirgins together and work on that patriotic team spirit (with perhaps a little tea party and some scones afterwards)…
I’m sure we could get at least one person good enough to run for England! :lol
How about we wax polish 4 tea trays and slide down with our tarp trailing.
My worry is that being a Brit team we’d probably drop the tarp somewhere or slide past the stage.
Cant we just skip the tarp run and saunter to the bar instead ? :cheers
Now there’s a thought - put the bar right at the front and offer free beer - I know people who could just about fly for that. :eek
I get a warm patriotic feeling when people volunteer like that Lalagay, well done and three cheers for the Anglo-French, tarp-running Heroine.
Hooraah…
Hooraah…
Hooraah…
Now; pass the scones please. 
Ya know Im getting this warm and fuzzy feeling …maybe its the Stout Im Sipping
We Need to find a way to get these Damn Brits into Town Park !
What a Great Virgin /Brit Scarifice I could pull off … Im thinking the whole Brit Band Jamming IN BEAR CREEK !
now there is a Kodak Moment !
:cheers
IKnow I know …Shut Up Ron !
:evil
I think LalaGay is being a bit coy here.
I just spent the weekend in her native land and every one of those sweet, gentle looking old ladies can knock you sideways when they want to get on the metro.
Add the speed of youth and I think the Brits may just have the upper hand in the form of Lalagay :lol.
Keep it quiet UK. :thumbsup
And again, I found myself laughing out loud reading the latest additions to this threat!!! :lol :lol :lol :lol
Boogiefool, I appreciate your confidence in the French, but sadly there’s no actual french blood in me, so please don’t get your hopes up…
I’ve got that sweet english “I’m dreadfully sorry…” nature which doesn’t really work with a competitive spirit :rolleyes
But, if I must, I’ll do my best to bring out the French attitude in me, for the sake of all UK Tarp runners :flower
Damn I guess we wont need that stake, kindling and matches if she’s not French.
No OMD either.
OMD? That’s LALAGay Mark, not Inola Gay.lol :lol :lol
Enola Gay I think you will find.
Gotta be careful with all these mods around :lol
I stand corrected. Enola Gay it is.
Oh Tony!! (said in the style of “Oh Tim” again.)
You’re letting the side down - just me to slip up now then I’m sure I’ll get pounced on.
SING, LAUGH, PLAY, DRINK AND HOWL AT THE MOON AND DON’T SLEEP… :medal
I hope you’re not referring to any un natural explosions… :flower Mr ABGAT will provide enough natural :quote explosions :quote of his own. Perhaps you should start looking for a kayak as a little birdie told me he was planning a tea party, boston style, in Bear creek.
Do brits do well without regular infusions of tea? It’s been about 350 years since Sir Thomas left Lunsford cross.
God Bless Utah Phillips…RIP
:peace
Even the most ‘un-British’ of Brits have to sneak off for the occasional fix of infused leaf tea. It’s the first thing I pack on every trip to the US, I even got asked once in a restaurant if I had my own tea bags (what must you think of us?).
For TBF, I plan to live like a native so point me in the direction of music, beer, party or even coffee … and I’ll go running. I’m sure sleep’s over rated anyway.
