A different kind of office for a few days
Some of you will know that for the past five years a few us head out to Spain for a few days to ride our motorbikes and do a bit of work for the world TV coverage of the WRC (World Rally Championship). Last year we took our offroad bikes and spent an amazing few days on the trails in the hills around Tremp. This year we were on road bikes and were really blessed with the weather and carried out our duties smoothly and all TV footage was delivered from the various rally stages to Rally HQ in Salou.
Here are a few shots from the recent trip:
