			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So this Sunday despite the week we all had thanks to the snow we decided to not heed the warnings about &#8220;unnecessary&#8221; journeys.  We all gathered at the hill at Tymon Park in Greenhills for a spot of sledding.  It turned out we were not the only ones with the idea.  There were people with tea trays, politician posters (best use for them), black sacks, inflatable chairs, surf boards and anything else that would even remotely slide, glide or skim along the snow and ice.</p>
<p>We had amongst our arsenal an actual toboggan (thanks to Cillian), black sacks (thanks to Dan) and several types of surfing/boogie boards.  I provided the camera and below is some of our mishaps, adventures and near misses.  We started out rather un-adventurous but by the end we were piling people on, breaking distances records and even surfing down (well some of the way).</p>
<p>First we have Cillian and Colm attempting a duo, they manage to hit some children along the way too.</p>
<p><object width="476" height="357" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658899&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed width="476" height="357" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658899&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" /></object></p>
<p>As my courage grew from each attempt I finally decided to try Surfing&#8230;while standing.  It did not go quite according to plan</p>
<p><object width="476" height="357" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658964&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed width="476" height="357" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658964&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" /></object></p>
<p>Next up we have the ladies who attempted 3 on a board (impressive).</p>
<p><object width="476" height="357" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658909&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed width="476" height="357" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658909&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" /></object></p>
<p>Finally the lads tried to top that with 4 on board and in case you miss me saying it in the video&#8230;I wasn&#8217;t ready!</p>
<p><object width="476" height="357" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658881&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed width="476" height="357" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8658881&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" /></object></p>
<p>In conclusion although the snow has probably cost the country millions, made us sit in traffic for many many many hours and caused damage to our cars and homes, don&#8217;t worry about it.  Every cloud has a silver lining and this one you can slide down!  So grab the shiniest tea tray you can find&#8230;and join in the fun!</p>
