Eastbourne Skaters take on the Marina route - Sk8 M8’s Breakfast Skate!

Well we publicised we were going to do something different and the route managed to to live up to expectations.

Fears that the Eastbourne Airbourne Show would make travel to the Turning Circle difficult proved unfounded and we managed to get there without any problems at all (leaving took a little longer than usual - but only a few minutes so not too bad at all). As you can see - we even managed to get some push chairs on the Breakfast Skate this time!

video0092.mp4The route promised to show everyone some of the sights that Eastbourne Skaters don’t normally see or even know exist!

Like the fountains!

Various Scuptures

And some seriously good surfaces!

We even had time for some Yacht spotting!

The food was just fine and because it was a little closer than the usual route, we managed to get there quite fast, which was handy as the cafe filled up pretty quickly.

Naturally the “usual suspects”played up. Fogie managed to “get lost” - which is what happens if you lead, but don’t know where you are going! DOH! Of course if you listen to him, he was just hurrying along for a cup of coffee!

On the way back we made sure we took in more of the sights and ended up taking about as long as the usual route.

In the end we had a cup of tea at the Turning Circle Cafe and met up with Fiona and a few other skaters. As you can see Ice Cream was also on the menu!

Chalk up another Sk8 M8’s success - perhaps we’ll have to vary the routes for the Sk8 n Chips Eastbourne Skaters Night Skates for the Sk8 M8’s too!
