Miles and miles up north lies the land of Shotblasting. So I buzzed up there in the van to visit blast clean and grab some gear.

Shiny clean and very smart looking. The guys were lovely and gave me a full explanation of what lead connects to which valve. Which I have promptly forgotten. They assured me it was foolproof…

As soon as I got home Roland, gizzi and I were quick to try out the helmet… (At this point you have to imagine flashdance playing in the background…)

What can I say? After 7 hours driving the van in the pissing rain I deserved the red wine.
