Today marks the end of a rather crazy wedding holiday season for me, so here is some long overdue retro-blogging fuelled by jet lag. Our company’s founder, Matt McNeill<\/a>, was married at the end of March. Sadly this clashed with Robin’s wedding, but I was able to attend the stag weekend, which took place in Santiago de Compostela<\/a> in northern Spain.<\/p>\n

It was a short trip to a beautiful part of the world, for typical man-events: eating, paint-balling, eating, karting, eating, boozing and eating. There was a lot of eating. A LOT. Up at 4:00am on the Friday morning, we had a pre-breakfast of fried sausages and onions in pitta bread accompanied by a bottle of Leffe. Then at Stanstead at 6:30am, a full english breakfast with two pints of Carling. We continued in this vein, pausing only to relocate, shoot each other, and kart(!).<\/p>\n

Just after a delicious lunch in Santiago on Friday:<\/p>\n

\"Santiago\"<\/p>\n

Some karting on the Saturday morning:<\/p>\n

\"me<\/p>\n

I must pause to enthuse about this circuit. Safety briefing: no. Marshals and flags: no. Quick, reliable karts: yes. Karts easy to oversteer: yes. Beer on sale during pit stops: yes. Blind eye turned to obvious, deliberate and malicious contact during racing: yes. Wonderful! Easily the best karting, ever.<\/p>\n

\"great<\/p>\n

A great weekend away, and what a reminder of what warm weather is like. Roll on summer!<\/p>\n
